Dear mom,
as you know i am exploring the new land bought from napolean, called the Lousaina Purchase. We first set out on are journey along the Missouri river. it was brutle going down the river especially when the current was going the other way. we met a tribe called the shoshones and they gave us a guide to help us on are expedition. her name was Sacagawea. she helped us with other tribes and what to eat and what not to eat. when we ran into tribes like omaha or crow indians they would be safer with her. if it was not for sacagawea the expedition would have not gone as far as we are going.
also along are journey we discovered many different plants and animals. there was this one scary animal called a grizzly bear. it would growl and even try to eat us. we discovered this beautiful plant call a big leaf maple. we are having one ship take back new discoveries back to thomas jefferson. as we were in the rocky mountains we discovered Rocky Mountain Bee Plant and Rocky Mountain Maple. these were also beautiful plants. as we go farther and farther i wish you were here with me.
sincerely,
meriweather lewis
