What Animal Did Lewis And Clark Discover

Lewis and Clark expedition Meriwether Lewis collected many hundreds of plants on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. All of the plants Lewis collected in the offset months of the Expedition were cached nigh the Missouri River to be retrieved on the render journey. Unfortunately, the cache was completely destroyed past Missouri flood waters. Other collections were lost in varying ways, and we now take but 237 plants Lewis collected, 226 of which are in the Philadelphia Herbarium.[one] Lewis hired Frederick Pursh for $70 to practise the circuitous task of describing 124 of his collections, which Pursh did and published in 1814. One of the best sources of online information on the Lewis and Clark Trek is Lewis-Clark.org .
