Lewis and Clark opened the door to the American West, but perhaps not in the way we often imagine. After completing their journey down the Missouri River in 1806, they encountered more than 100 people already heading west to enter the fur trade and explore the region. In this conversation with Nat and Mikey, Clay reflects on what the expedition accomplished, from Clark’s remarkable maps to their encounters with more than 50 Native nations, while also confronting the expedition’s larger role in the expansion of American power into the West. Watch the clip for a fascinating look at Lewis and Clark’s complicated legacy. #ListeningToAmerica #LewisAndClark #AmericanWest #History #ClayJenkinson

June 8, 1805 — Part 2 Lewis returns to camp, spreads out Arrowsmith’s 1795 map… and immediately spots problems. He writes of his growing suspicion about the veracity of Mr. Peter Fidler’s reports and the correctness of his instruments. The geography on the map simply does not match the country Lewis has just traveled and carefully observed. One small correction in a journal entry… one more piece of evidence that will help the Corps choose the right path west. Part 2 of today’s journal reading is now live. If you were Lewis, would you trust the famous mapmaker’s work or your own eyes and measurements?

Эти места хранят память о легендарной экспедиции Льюиса и Кларка, которая более двухсот лет назад открывала для Америки неизведанные просторы. Их путь пролегал по водам великой Миссури — той самой реки, которая и сегодня спокойно несет свои воды мимо этих берегов. Здесь особенно остро понимаешь, что каждое путешествие — это не только преодоление расстояний, но и поиск самого себя. Пусть у каждого из нас будет свой путь. Путь, наполненный смелостью исследователей, мудростью природы и достоинством, которое невозможно отнять. #LewisAndClark #RoadTrip #Travel #QuietTrail #ТихаяТропинка
Y’all, when @careorg asked me when I knew women knew how to get things I IMMEDIATELY knew my answer! While I’m the son of a bad@$$ woman and was lucky enough to be surrounded by bad@$$ women as a kid, I couldn’t resist the chance to talk about Lewis & Clark and Sachagawea, the woman who made it all possible! (cue eye rolls and groans from my friends who have endured HOURS of unsolicited Lewis & Clark stories 🤣😇) This International Women’s Day, CARE is celebrating fearless women leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who know better than anyone how to lead and how to achieve success despite all the obstacles the world throws in front of them. So, what was the moment YOU knew women knew how to get $h!t done?!

This grave in St. Louis belongs to a man who mapped 4,000 miles of unknown wilderness—but the Masonic symbols carved into his monument almost didn't happen at all. 🗺️🧭 When William Clark set out with Meriwether Lewis in 1804, Clark was not a Freemason. Lewis, however, had been raised in a Virginia lodge years before. Out on the trail, across two years of freezing camps and uncertainty, Meriwether Lewis started talking to William Clark about the lessons of Freemasonry. Clark was listening. In 1809, three years after they returned, William Clark walked into St. Louis Lodge No. 111 and became a Master Mason himself. When he died in 1838, the city gave him a funeral procession over a mile long, laying him to rest with full military and Masonic honors. ⚒️ Brethren, think about those fireside conversations Lewis and Clark must have had in the wilderness. Now, think about the good men in your own life who might be looking for that same light and brotherhood. Don't be shy about having those conversations!

In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark to find a route across the Louisiana Territory to the Pacific. Neither predicted the expedition's success would hinge on one woman's stolen childhood. Around 1800, a Lemhi Shoshone girl named Sacagawea was captured during a raid by a rival tribe at about age twelve, taken hundreds of miles from home, and became one of the wives of a French-Canadian trader, Toussaint Charbonneau. Five years later, pregnant, she and her husband were hired to join the expedition because Lewis and Clark needed a Shoshone interpreter to trade for horses crossing the Rockies. She gave birth to her son, Jean Baptiste, that February, then carried him on her back for thousands of miles west. Along the way, when one of the expedition's boats nearly capsized, Sacagawea calmly saved crucial papers, instruments, and medicine from being swept away — records that later preserved the journey's history. In August 1805, deep in the mountains and desperate for horses, the expedition finally found a band of Shoshone, and Sacagawea was brought in to interpret. Partway through, she suddenly recognized the chief. It was her brother, Cameahwait. According to the expedition's own journals, she leapt up, ran to him, threw her blanket over his shoulders, and wept through the meeting. She learned that day her family was almost entirely gone; only Cameahwait and one other brother remained. The reunion put the expedition in an unexpectedly favorable position. Cameahwait supplied horses and a guide, though the crossing that followed still turned brutal — the party got lost, ran low on food, and nearly starved before reaching the other side. Sacagawea died just seven years later, around age 25, from illness at a remote trading post — far from the family she'd only briefly gotten back. Clark later became guardian to her two children. Today, more monuments honor her than any other woman in American history. Country: United States Year: 1800–1812 Disclaimer: This video was created with the help of AI for educational purposes.
