Review RS summary:
History of the story Lewis and Clark and Me ~ the Louisiana
Purchase
The Louisiana Purchase was a large land deal between
the United States and France in 1803. President Thomas
Jefferson bought this land to help the U.S. grow. After the purchase, he sent Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark on an expedition to explore the new
territory west of the Mississippi River.
In Lewis and
Clark and Me, the story follows Seaman, a big
Newfoundland dog, who traveled with Lewis on this journey. Seaman helped the
men by swimming, hunting, and protecting them. The expedition was
important because it mapped new lands, met Native American tribes, and
helped the U.S. understand the West.
This connection shows how Seaman played a small but important
role in American history, as he was part of one of the most famous journeys in
the U.S.
