LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION,

Planning and recruitment of personnel took place in 1803, but the expedition did not actually set out until May 1804. Its composition ranged from 30 to 45 soldiers and frontiersmen, including one black, and it eventually included one woman. The latter, a Shoshoni Indian named Sacagawea, joined the company in April 1805 and earned her subsequent share of fame as an interpreter and peacemaker.
