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.



Signed, Jessica Good

PS. for my weekly labors, discoveries... for all my endeavors have brought to this journey, 9 believe 9 should be paid the grade of a B+.

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!

Jefferosn & Journals



Lewis said the expidition should be truly documented. Jefferson said we should have a least a couple of journals for our expidition. Each of the corps' maintained a journal ( including Floyd before his death). Each of the travelers had a journal that would have all of were they would go and also directions of were they went.

Rush's Thunderbolts


Today my mess was very sick. It was very unfortunate. Luckily i knew just the rite thing to give them. It is called the Rush's Thunderbolts that i got from doctor Rush it really helps if you have stomach pains or for and thing wrong with your stomach. Hopefully when i give them this medicine they will get better as we speech. One thing that i don't like is getting sick on a trip including a trip across the country on a boat. Thank god i did not get sick that would be a very messy boat!
Hope all is well,
Dr. Good

Hello Sir i would like to buy your dog? Well he is not for sale. I will buy him for 5 dollars. No 10 dollars, 10 dollars it is then no higher. When i got this great Newfonland dog i said i would name him Champion. Slowly he grew out of that name now it is Seaman the dog! Seaman will go on an adventure of a live time across the united states to find the Pacific ocean.

Dear Captain John,

I am interested in different types of Food, Music, Chocolate, and a bunch of other things. And something i am good at is playing the guitar. I also love to travel and see different sites. Something i hope to collect on the trip is sea glass if we are near a beach. Also ancient artifacts from around the world. I think traveling if a good thing to do because you can learn about all different places around the world and see what kind of cultures there are.
