This would provide a more efficient way to conduct the fur trade—helping America to compete with Britain’s dominance in that market—besides increasing U.S.
Commerce in general.It was an enormous trip lasting more than two years until September 1806. Those of the Corps, co-commanded by Lewis and Clark, only vaguely knew what they would encounter.Similarly Joshua and Caleb in the Bible were part of a group of 12 scouts or spies sent by Moses, the leader of ancient Israel, to explore the “Promised Land,” the Israelites’ new homeland in Canaan where their forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had dwelt.
