A5. Sadly I should know more! But I’ve only learned about them and Sacagawea #ParkChat
Q5: Meriwether Lewis and William Clark tend to get all of the credit for the expedition’s success. Who else was involved and how did they contribute? #parkchat

It was quite a diverse group of individuals - different backgrounds, education, languages, and experiences.

A5. Whether it was luck or exceptional forethought, the members were well chosen. They should all get credit. So many other expeditions lost many members, or failed.

Another great point! If you want to learn more about the ultimate fate of many of the members of the expedition you can read about it in "Fate of the Corps" by Larry Morris!

A5. York. Sacagawea...
#parkchat -
Yes! York rarely gets mentioned. He was Clark's slave and a tremendous asset to the success of the expedition.

A5) There's both John Colter and Sacagawea who played key roles in the expedition.

And baby Pomp (a.k.a. Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau)! Sacagawea's son for whom Pompey's Pillar National Monument is named!
