Lewis and Clark Expedition. For other uses, see Lewis and Clark (disambiguation). The Lewis and Clark Expedition, also known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition, was the first American expedition to cross what is now the western portion of the United States. It began near St. Louis, made its way westward, and passed through the continental divide to reach the Pacific coast.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition was considered a great success, and it did meet its official purpose, as it helped foster an American fur trade. And it also met the other various goals, especially by increasing scientific knowledge and providing more reliable maps. And the Lewis and Clark Expedition also strengthened a United States claim to the Oregon Territory, so the expedition did ultimately lead toward the settlement of the west. 1  The Timeline of the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804 to 1806. 2  Free Lewis and Clark Printable Worksheets and Coloring Pages.
