Question

3. DETERMINING MEANING Lewis used many informative terms in his

journal, such as directions, measurements, and geographic features. Why were
these words important to include?

Answer 1

On May 14, 1804, Clark and the Corps joined Lewis in St. Charles, Missouri and headed upstream on the Missouri River in the keelboat and two smaller boats at a rate of about 15 miles per day. Heat, swarms of insects and strong river currents made the trip arduous at best.
