How do you think Meriwether Lewis and William Clark would describe the Pacific?
I have to write a play for school and in it Lewis and Clark have to describe what they see when they reach the Pacific. Any ideas of how they should say it?
Expedition
The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1803–1806), headed by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, was the first American overland expedition to the Pacific coast and back. Originally intended to determine exactly what was obtained in the Louisiana Purchase, the expedition laid much of the groundwork for the Westward Expansion of the United States.
Prelude: 1803 to May 1804
In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson won approval from Congress for a visionary project that was to become one of American history’s greatest adventure stories. Jefferson wanted to know if Americans could journey overland to the Pacific Ocean by following two rivers, the Missouri and the Columbia. Both rivers flowed from the Rocky Mountains, he knew; the Missouri flows east from the Rockies and the Columbia flows west to the Pacific Ocean.

But, as Walter Kim wrote in Time, “If not for the . . . epic the captains scratched out while crouching on hillsides and squatting on riverbanks, we might not remember Lewis and Clark at all.”
