What Were Some Animals That Lewis And Clark Discovered

Lewis and Clark expedition Meriwether Lewis collected many hundreds of plants on the Lewis and Clark Trek. All of the plants Lewis collected in the first months of the Expedition were cached nigh the Missouri River to be retrieved on the return journey. Unfortunately, the enshroud was completely destroyed by Missouri flood waters. Other collections were lost in varying means, and we now have only 237 plants Lewis collected, 226 of which are in the Philadelphia Herbarium.^[1] Lewis hired Frederick Pursh for $70 to practise the complex chore of describing 124 of his collections, which Pursh did and published in 1814. One of the best sources of online data on the Lewis and Clark Trek is Lewis-clark.org.
