Traveling with Lewis and Clark.....

This is the National News about Lewis and Clark. We went traveling with them and you wouldn't believe what all happened. We started on the Missouri River from their St. Louis area camp. Clark and about four dozen other men met up with Lewis on May 20. The Lewis and Clark expedition began making its way up the Missouri aboard a 55-foot-long. I was helping Clark make a map and I helped Lewis study stuff it was great.
We was always on the lookout for Indians. Around July we had traveled 600 miles and still hadn't met a single indian. On August 2 the Oto and Missouri Indians arrived at the expedition's camp. This first Indians we met the two groups of indians greeted and gave us gifts. We seen elk, deer, buffalo, and beaver.
We seen alot of stuff on the way there. We made it back to the Place on 1809.
