What Was the Lewis and Clark Expedition?

When Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and the "Corp of Discovery" left St. Louis, Missouri, on May 21, 1804, their mission was to explore the vast, unknown territory acquired a year earlier in the Louisiana Purchase. The travelers hoped to find a waterway that crossed the western half of the United States. They didn't. However, young readers will love this true-life adventure tale of the two-year journey that finally brought the explorers to the Pacific Ocean.Author: Judith St George, Who HqPublisher: Penguin WorkshopPublished: 10/16/2014Pages: 112Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.30lbsSize: 8.00h x 5.90w x 0.30dISBN: 9780448479019Audience: Ages 9-12Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 5.8Point Value: 1Interest Level: Middle GradeQuiz #/Name: 171135 / What Was the Lewis and Clark Expedition?About the AuthorJudith St. George has published dozens of successful nonfiction books for children, including the Caldecott Medal-winning So You Want to Be President? and the historical Turning Point se
