Lewis and Clark

They were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark,
Her name was Sacagawea.
On an expedition they did embark
Finding the passage to the sea.

Down the Missouri they traveled, 
Then slithered 'round the Snake River bend.
Rocky Mountain weather and sickness battled;
At the Columbia River they'd end.

Ah, a historic piece indeed... You know they spent most of their time during their famous trek in present day North Dakota. One of my all time favorite states!!! Nice poem about this famous Captain and Lieutenant duo!!! MC
