Pres. Thomas Jefferson wanted direct and practicable water communication across this continent and US sovereignty over the land occupied by the many different Indian tribes along the Missouri River; In 1803, Jefferson commissioned the Corps of Discovery and named Army Captain Meriwether Lewis its leader, who then selected William Clark as second in command; The Corps of Discovery departed from Camp Dubois at 4 pm on May 14, 1804, and met up with Lewis in St. Charles, Missouri; the Lewis and Clark Expedition established relations with two dozen Indian nations, without whose help the expedition would have risked starvation during the harsh winters and/or become hopelessly lost in the vast ranges of the Rocky Mountains; not all relations with Native Americans were good; expedition sighted the Pacific Ocean for the first time on November 7, 1805, arriving two weeks later; Lewis and Clark Expedition gained an understanding of the geography of the Northwest and produced the first accurate maps of the area;
