Lewis and Clark were two men that lived in Kentucky. They were called by Tomas Jefferson too explore the new land that the government bought, (The Louisiana purchase).
It was 1803 when they started their journey across a strip of land about one half the size of the state that is now called Washington.
The louisiana purchase was an unknown territory for Lewis and Clark at the time, so they found a Native named sacagewea to guide them across the land.the land was populated with 700 people that were ussualy of the catahulu tribe. This land was also inhabited by horses birds lizards and alot more creatures. Lewis and Clark thought this land was very cold but in some places filled with resorces like food and water. The kinds of foods that Lewis and Clark were fish and some beef such as cattle,deer,elk,rabbit and squirell.
There are alot of ways that Lewis and Clark have effected our lives today, they have explored new land for the early americans and met the indians of the cataholo tribe letting them see some of the first white people. They learned new ways of living and cooking for Americans.
Lewis and Clark have effected us in many ways in the future some good and some bad.
