This couple is called legendary because of their great feat in history.
In 1804 Lewis and Clark were the first ones that decided to make an expedition from the East of America to the West side. During the trip they found diferent tribes, animals and plants they have never seen before.
In my opinion I wouldn't catalogue them as heroes, because they didn't achieve something impossible, they just did what they believed in doing and they did it. In stead of calling them heroes, I would said they contribued enormously to they history of America, and specifically to the development of cultural and natural issues. Without their research and their good treatment with the tribes, the story would probably be very different.
I completely agree with you Anita! They were not heroes. They just were important in the exploration of a new culture inside of America.
ReplyDeleteMaybe If you look it in a patriotic position, they were risky crossing a unknown territory and fighting (in some cases) saving their own lives.
