Contrary to popular belief the Lewis and Clark journey did not begin in St. Louis. Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. â¦ Lt.

On the road with Thomas Jeffersonâs Corps of Discovery, or even standing alongside the trail as they pass by, we meet ourselves, and more important, we meet people who are not ourselves. Lewis and Clark were not the first white men to cross the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific north of Mexico. (Scottish fur trader Alexander Mackenzie crossed Canada a decade earlier.) Nor did they visit places not already seen and mapped by generations of native people.
