What was William Clark's job during the Lewis and Clark expedition?

Prior to the expedition, Clark was in fact Lewis' superior officer and was very experienced in handling boats. While Lewis spent his time in St. Louis gathering information, Clark did most of the work of turning the disparate crew into an integrated corps. Clark served mainly as the expedition "doctor" and as co-captain in updating the journals. He often traded medical care for food and eventually established a reputation among the natives for his skills. Finding a man with a tumor on his thigh who couldn't walk, Clark cleansed and dressed the wound and left him some soap to wash the sore. He soon got better and as Clark says "this man assigned the restoration of his leg to me."

When did Lewis buy Seaman?

Lewis' dog, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, was of the Newfoundland breed. Historians differ on whether the dog was named "Seaman" or "Scannon", depending on how you read Lewis' writing. Lewis purchased him for some $20 from a riverboat captain before he left Washington D.C for Pittsburgh in 1803. The captain had won him and his mother playing cards.

What did Sacagawea Lewis and Clark find?

Sacajawea accompanied Lewis and Clark to try to find the Northwest passage in the West. Back then, the Americans in Lewis's and Clark's time thought that the West was a great deserted plain. Lewis and Clark were sent, along with some others, to explore. They found different plants, animals, and land marks. Some of these were different types of flowers, the Rocky Mountains, and buffalo.
