It was a venture that, at the time, would carry more risk and uncertainty than the first flights into outer space during the modern era. Though it would come to be called the 'Corps of Discovery' by the rough-hewn frontiersman who filled it's ranks, history would more commonly remember the group by the names of it's leaders: Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. These two names, inextricably linked with each other and with American history, are rightly remembered as representing the start of a new era of exploration, and as symbols of the best elements of human curiosity."
