The Lewis & Clark Expedition: Part 2 - The Return Journey
When the Lewis and Clark Expedition reached the Pacific Ocean, map-maker William Clark estimated that just from St. Louis the Expedition had traveled 4,162 miles. The expedition's return trip and adventures after the journey are so dramatic and fascinating that I dedicated a second full installment in our History Highlights series. Their return journey finally carried them back over the Rocky Mountains where they divided into three different groups to explore even more territory. Those separate endeavors produced even more diverse adventures, including the only violent encounter with Native Americans and another tragedy as Lewis was shot and badly wounded in a hunting accident. Finally reunited, the expedition returned to St. Louis on September 23 of 1806. They had been gone two years, four months and ten days.
Their story is awe-inspiring. Unbelievable physical exertion, the potential accidents, the dangerous rivers, weather, animals, sickness, disease, and potential violence with the Native Americans. The expedition was well-supplied, staffed with talented members, and guided by amazing leaders. But all along their journey, the group also received significant assistance from the Native Americans.
Join me, historian Bill Wiemuth, to explore the most dramatic and significant highlights of this incredible adventure. My HistoryHighlights.com series offers multiple books and presentations covering their western journey to the Pacific, their fascinating return journey, and their remarkable lives after the expedition.
