TEXT:Just as the America will one day go to the moon, now a mission into this unknown.Lewis and Clark wanted to see what's on the other side. Given a mountain we want to climb it. We hold those ventures of the past and great admiration. May 1804, a presidential aid and a junior army officer set out on a mapping expedition.Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's journey is about to become one of the most epic tales of survival in American history. The Rockies: unknown, mythical. Even woolly mammoth are fabled to roam here. Treacherous, too. No one expects the Rockies to be 90 separate mountain ranges, 3,000 miles long. They're caught in a death trap. After two weeks, starvation sets in. They eat any plants they can find. Next, they eat their horses. The expedition is given up as dead. But they survive, and they owe their survival to a 16 -year -old Native American girl. Sacagawea of the Shoshone Nation guides them, finds wild food, and saves their precious million-word journals from an overturned canoe. In 1805, William Clark notes in his journal: Ocean in view! Oh! The joy! They are the first New Americans to reach the Pacific Ocean over land. Lewis and Clark's remarkable expedition discovers 300 species of wildlife, transforming science and agriculture. But their journals record an even greater discovery, one that will forge a whole new breed of American hero. America.
