Before the expedition started in
Start 1803, Merriwether Lewis prepared
with a supplies shopping spree!
Among the purchases of food, tools,
and medicine, he also spent $20 - or
$557 today - on a Newfoundland
dog who he named Seaman. This
pup was a crucial part of the
journey, assisting in hunting, scaring
off bears, and lightening the mood
of more than 30 tired and hungry
travelers. Lewis took every chance
he got to flaunt Seaman, how does
your human show you off?
Finish

journey. Blazing and freezing weather,
run-ins with grizzly bears, and even close
calls with starvation were the norm!
