“Don’t let your dreams be dreams, just do it”, Shia Lebouf. Young Lewis and Clark dreamed of adventures and exploring. They did not let their dreams be dreams. As adults the two would lead an expedition of historical significance to the United States. “Meriwether Lewis was born on August 18, 1774, near Charlottesville, Virginia and was the boyhood neighbor of Thomas Jefferson.” (lewisandclark) “Meriwether Lewis spent much of his time as a youth in the outdoors, and developed an interest in

In 1803, Thomas Jefferson enlisted in the help of his secretary, Meriwether Lewis to explore the newly purchased Louisiana. Jefferson wanted to find out if there were any possible water routes to the Pacific, as well as beyond the Rocky Mountains in the west. Lewis couldn't go alone, however, even though he was known for being an intelligent, and literate man, as well as being an experienced frontiersman. Therefore, Lewis asked Jefferson if a man known as William Clark could be a part of the exploration

Meriwether Lewis is, a National hero in 1806, who received fame for Western expedition journey that was from February 1803 and ended Fall 1803. He then became the Governor or upper Louisiana. Lewis’ home is Virginia; he has both a drinking and depression problem. On, a journey to Washington D.C. October 11, 1809, Meriwether Lewis was found dead from two gunshot wounds. (One to the head, the other to the stomach.). Of the time of Meriwether Lewis’ death, there was no reason why anyone would want

Meriwether Lewis played a vital role in finding Louisiana. He went through a life-threatening journey with William Clark, but it payed off. He became the governor of Louisiana, promoted by Jefferson. But, on October 11th, 1809, Lewis was gruesomely murdered at the Grinder Inn. His murder has been ruled a suicide for decades, but as more people investigate this case, it's evident that suicide is not what happened. It's impossible Meriwether Lewis would have killed himself. According to the investigation

According to “The Strange Death of Governor Meriwether Lewis” People who believe that is was suicide is just listening to one side of the story, and believing what was said by Nelly, Jefferson, Mrs. Grinder, and Pernia. Those people who had not been known at all till after Meriwether Lewis’s death. And Mrs. Grinder told Nelly that she was alone when Meriwether Lewis rode up, but she told Wilson that the children were there when Meriwether rode up. The Grinder slave made a statement saying that she

The names Lewis and Clark have almost always been associated with excellence and adventure. Their expedition westward in search of a water passageway across the country has become etched into the annals of history as one of the earliest and greatest examples of American nationalism and survives not only as a compelling story, but also as a piece of living, breathing history. However, upon examining the expedition, several prudent questions arise: Could the expedition truly have known what awaited

September 9, 1805, Lewis and Clark as well as others camped at what is present day Weippe, Idaho after nearly dying of starvation in the mountains. The next month the expedition reached the Columbia River where they constructed a large keelboat in Pittsburg. Lewis took the boat down the river to pick up Clark and the rest of the crew along the way, which saved time. On November 7, 1805, Lewis and Clark were twenty miles from the sea, but the men had to put the trip to a halt for three weeks due to

matter arranged, we left the banks of St. Charles with cheers from the crowd…into unknown civilization.” (Lewis and Clark) The United States of America was considered to be all of the land east of the Mississippi river. All the land west of the river was, as they thought, a remote and uncivilized part of the world. Sent by President Thomas Jefferson to find the fabled Northwest Passage, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led a very important, but dangerous expedition to explore this land and find a passage

exploration and survey of the west . The main body of explorers, known as the Corps of Discoverers, was led by Captain Meriwether Lewis and his associate in command William Clark. Assembling the individuals to make up the Corps of Discoverers would prove to be less daunting than the hardships and challenges they would endure on their westward journey. Captain Lewis at age twenty nine and Lieutenant Clark who was four years older were both from upper class Virginia planter families and had become

Meriwether Lewis the governor of the New Louisiana territory. And was the leader of the Lewis and Clark expedition to go and search westward of the United States of America. And on way to Washington D.C his last journey he suddenly died of gunshot wounds at Grinder’s Stand. People for the last 200 years said it was a suicide. But what if I told you I have another theory. That it was murder by conspiracy. That Meriwether Lewis was murdered by conspiracy instead of suicide. And I’m here to tell you
