This is interesting but the reading is confusing as it does not distinguish between the author's summary and commentary on the expedition when he wrote this in 1901 and the quotes he includes from the journals of Lewis and Clark themselves, written during the expedition itself between 1803 and 1805 or 1806. He should say "quote" when he reads an excerpt from the journals. Jumping back and forth in time doesn't work well if the listener cannot see the quotes used in the text that tell us who is speaking.

It WASN'T a wilderness. People had been living in the lands Lewis and Clark "discovered" for thousands of years. And white Americans, Canadians and Europeans had been traversing the rivers and lands for decades if not centuries. Lewis and Clark were the first to make a SYSTEMATIC survey of the territory they explored.

[@GH-oi2jf]

Lewis and Clark didn’t claim to have “discovered” the territory. They set out to explore and document it.

[@veritas6335]

It most certainly was a wilderness. No roads, no buildings, no plumbing, no settlements. Land, rivers, trees, animals, mountains, sun, moon and stars. And that's all. Unchanged from time immemorial. That native Americans roamed there does not make it any less a wilderness.

[@veritas6335]

President Jefferson had aquired maps made by 'Thomason' and supplied them to Lewis and Clark. Thomas was known as the "Star Gazer' and riducled by the local people. he made a number of trips South while it was still French territory. Also mapped many Canadian rivers. You can easily Google the name ( David Thomson) and see how Lewis and Clark depended on those maps!

So there was no whites west of Missouri? Only Native American tribes?

[@veritas6335]

French trappers had worked the area since the 1700s. (Sacagawea was kidnapped at age 12 and sold to a French trapper, who "married" her. She was pregnant when on the expedition ) But other than the French trappers, there were few white people or settlements in the Northwest Territories There were Spanish missionaries and Spanish settlers in Texas and California of course.

[@veritas6335]

The Spanish had sent settlers to what is now New Mexico and Arizona from the 1500s on. Santa Fe, New Mexico, was founded in 1609 by conquistador Pedro de Peralta. Franciscan friar Junipero Serra started the first Spanish mission in California in 1769, and many more followed. Many of them still exist and are wonderful to see. French explorers the Verendryes brothers arrived in the Dakotas in the 1730s (and claimed the area for France!). The fur trade opened up after that and French fur traders moved across all the northern territories. So yes, there were "whites" west of Missouri. Contrary to the opinion of many Americans, the French and the Spanish are white people.

Lewis and Clark met Sacagwea, a Lemi Shoshone woman, at the Mandan Village where they spent the 1803 winter. Sacagwea was kidnapped by Hidasta Indians who lived near the Mandan villages. At age 13, she was a sold or won in gambling game by a French fur trader named Charbonneau. Lewis and Clark hired him for $500 as a guide hoping Sacagwea could retrace her footsteps back to the Idaho-Montana border (about 900 miles). There she met her brother and continued on with the expedition. Afterwards, she visited Clark in St. Louis, Missouri and left her son with Clark as a guardian for overseeing his education.
