Lewis and Clark"
by Wheeler
|
Leaving the friendly Nez Perce, the expedition
once more traveled by canoe down the Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia
Rivers toward the Pacific Ocean. They didn't have to paddle against
the current this time, but had to run fast rapids and avoid dangerous
waterfalls.

The Corps of Discovery met the Nez Perce people during this part
of the expedition. They arrived cold, hungry and exhausted. The
Nez Perce saved the lives of the explorers by providing food and
a warm place to rest and recuperate. To learn more about these
people, visit Nez Perce National Historical Park on the Internet
at www.nps.gov/nepe

Captain Lewis brought his Newfoundland dog, Seaman,
on the expedition. Don't worry, they did not eat him. He traveled
the entire journey.
