At the time, the territory did not belong to the United States. Congress agreed to fund the expedition that would be led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. print-friendly version The modesty of the request, couched principally in terms of promoting commerce, belied the grandeur of the vision behind it. Jefferson had long been fascinated with the West and dreamed of a United States that would stretch across the entire continent. Jefferson instructed Meriwether Lewis, who commanded the expedition jointly with William Clark, to seek new trade routes, to befriend the western tribes of Indians, and to report on the geography, geology, astronomy, zoology, botany, and climate of the West. The 8,000-mile expedition provided the U.S. Government with its first glimpse of the vast lands that lay west of the Mississippi River. President Jefferson worked closely with Meriwether Lewis to ensure that he was well prepared—anticipating what the party would need in the way of arms, food, medicines, camping gear, scientific instruments, and presents for the Indians. They planned well. While the expedition ran out of such luxuries as whiskey, tobacco, and salt, they never ran out of rifles and powder, needed both for self-defense and food supply—and they never ran out of ink and paper, needed to record their findings.

Most Popular Searches Explorers, Pioneers, and Frontiersmen, 1804-1806 In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson successfully requested $2,500 from Congress for exploration of the trans-Mississippi west, land soon to become part of the United States through the Louisiana Purchase , announced on July 4. The president helped to plan an expedition and appointed his personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis , to lead it. Lewis selected William Clark to share command over the crew of 40 soldiers, boatmen, hunters, and a large dog. Jefferson's basic aims were to assess the new lands' commercial possibilities, military prospects, and regional flora and fauna. Uppermost, it was hoped that a Northwest Passage , comprising rivers and portages, would be discovered for easy access to the Pacific Ocean . The Corps of Discovery, as it came to be known, was charged with collecting new specimens, recording latitude and longitude of geographical features, noting the land's economic potential, discovering new rivers, journaling about the Indian tribes, and convincing those tribes of the federal government's good intentions. The captains' journals proved to be invaluable to posterity.

Lewis and Clark Home Page Lewis and Clark and the USGS Science Along the Lewis and Clark Trail USGS Celebrates 125 Years of Science for America ... About the Lewis and Clark Site Banner The Lewis and Clark Expedition and the USGS Exploration Recruitment Preparation D The Lewis and Clark Expedition was the first of many government surveys of natural resources in the American West. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was established on March 3, 1879 in response to a report from the National Academy of Sciences, which had been asked by the Congress in 1878 to provide a plan for surveying and mapping the Territories of the United States that would secure the best possible results at the least possible cost. The USGS continues to serve the nation as an independent fact-finding agency that provides scientific understanding about natural-resource conditions, issues, and problems. Because of its origin in natural resource surveys and the similarity of the USGS mission to Thomas Jefferson's charge to Meriwether Lewis , the USGS can be seen as the organizational successor to Lewis and Clark.
