The End Of The Journey

Spring, 1806

Dear Mr. Jefferson,

The journey was the Corps at there best. The journey was america at its best.The reason i say that the corps were at there best was because they helped discover an America that no European man has ever seen before. Each individuel played a key role on the journey such as, Captain Clark made maps for anyone else that disides to come west, Sacagawea helped us discover the routes that we need to get to the ocean, and the Shoshones Indians gave us horses to cross The Rocky Mountains which would have been impassable without. 

I said America at its best because in the new land we found there were animals, indians, food, plants, and so much beautiful, unspoiled open space. And also its america at its best because this journey enbodies the american spirit of discovery. Like our four fathers who crossed the Atlantic Ocean to open new opportunites in this country, so this corps has paved the way for many generations to come.

Lewis, Clark and all of the others would always love to have some Berry Pie once and a while. Its would taste very good with the fresh berries the would find on there journey. I thought you may enjoy one resipe for Three Berry Pie.1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
1/2 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups raspberries
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Something that Lewis and Clark would eat all the time would be dried berries they would eat them because they would stay good for a long period of time, and they were also very tasty! They dried them by laying them in the sun and letting that dry and crinkle!
