With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States
acquired vast expanses of mostly unexplored territory,
stretching from the Mississippi River to the Pacific
Ocean. President Thomas Jefferson chose 29-year-old
Meriwether Lewis and 33-year-old William Clark to lead
an expedition into the northwestern portion of the
Purchase, using the Missouri River as their primary
passageway.
Leaving St. Louis on May 14, 1804, Lewis and Clark and
their 44-man Corps of Discovery ascended the Missouri
and made winter camp at Fort Mandan, in what is now
North Dakota, close to the five Knife River villages of
the friendly Mandan and Hidatsa tribes.
