May 14, 1804: The Louis and Clark Expedition Sets Out to Explore the Louisiana Territory
On this day in 1804, the Corps of Discovery (more commonly known as the Louis and Clark Expedition) left Camp Dubois near St. Louis, Missouri to explore the Louisiana Territory.
For $15 million, President Jefferson’s 1803 purchase of the territory had more than doubled the size of United States: 820,000 square miles for 3 cents an acre. Jefferson chose his personal secretary Meriwether Lewis to serve as commander of the expedition. Soon after, Lewis invited his former army comrade William Clark to share command. Nearly four dozen men comprised the original group.
