Lewis and Clark kept busy most of the time during the journey to work on the most important aspects: the daily journal and the map. An interesting speller, Lewis provided the most specific details of plants, animals, native people and their culture, and the daily activities of the party. Clark’s map and chart-making capacities were very accurate.

The daily journal was one of the most important aspects of the journey according to Jefferson’s instruction to Lewis. Lewis studied and recorded all information about plants and animals along his discovery. The first plant Lewis discovered was the pink cleone. It was a new plant to science at that time. During the trip to Niobara River, Lewis also discovered other fifteen plants and eight of them were totally new to science. In addition, Lewis also found some mammals and birds which he and the men had never seen before. They saw the prairie dogs and the magpie birds.

In Lewis’ journal, he also recorded the Indians’ way of life and their culture. For instance, Lewis wrote about the Sioux tribe that they liked old and uncooked meat. They depended on meat hunting to survive. Lewis described, the Sioux were very thin, their cheekbones high, an

d their eyes projecting. They painted their face and body with colors. They wore buffalo skin. They lived together and were divided into different tribes. Lewis did not forget about recording the activities of the expedition men. Each member of the party had a fair responsibility. They used to hunt animals for food. They often ate buffalo, elks and deer. Each man ate at least eight to ten pounds of meat a day. They all were hard workers and useful people.
