The Lewis and Clark Expedition:
The End of the Trail
The Lewis and Clark Expedition will probably always be known as one of the most famous stories of exploration in the United States. Beginning May, 1804 in St. Louis, Missouri, the expedition covered over 8,000 miles on foot, by boat, by canoe, and on horseback from the mouth of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Columbia River and back.
In order to make it to the Columbia River, the brave group passed through wilderness filled with wild Grizzly Bears, Snakes, and many Indian Tribes.
On
November 7, 1805, nearly eighteen months
after they began, William Clark wrote "Ocian in view! O! the joy", only to
later find out they were still miles away from the Pacific Ocean.
This Web site is the story of their lives, discoveries, and challenges during their five month stay at Fort Clatsop. The stories on these pages were written and the website was designed by four fourth grade students from John Jacob Astor Elementary in Astoria, Oregon.
