The Explorers' Legacy - After a wet and hungry winter in Oregon, the explorers headed home and finally returned to St. Louis in September 1806, two years and four months after setting out. Lewis proudly wrote to Jefferson, “In obedience to our orders, we have penetrated the Continent of North America to the Pacific Ocean.”

Lewis and Clark had good reason to be proud. Although they had not found the Northwest Passage—for it did not exist—they had traveled some 8,000 miles and had mapped a route to the Pacific. They had established good relations with western Indians. Most of all, they had brought back priceless information about the West and its peoples.

Would you consider the expedition a success? Why or why not?

It was a successful and adventurous expedition because they were the first Americans to see the Pacific Ocean and to explore and map a route and trail to the Pacific Ocean. Being the first Americans to see the Pacific Ocean indecates this was a successful mission because it made Americans view Lewis and Clark as a hero. Being the first to map and route to the Pacific Ocean made new opportunities to anyone which lead to the Western Expansion. In conclusion, I think Lewis and Clark's expedition was a success.
