That team was charged with finding and mapping a route to the Pacific Ocean, from St-Louis Missouri.

Lewis and clark

That team had 33 original members, but others were recruited along the way,also were called something else than "Lewis and Clark", Yafa,(good answer), what was it?

First overland expedition to the U.S. Pacific coast and back, led by M. Lewis and W. Clark. Initiated by Pres. T. Jefferson, the expedition set out to find an overland route to the Pacific, documenting its exploration through the new Louisiana Purchase. About 40 men, skilled in various trades, left St. Louis in 1804. They traveled up the Missouri River into present-day N. Dakota, where they built Ft. Mandan (later Bismarck) and wintered among the Mandan Sioux. They left the next spring, hiring Toussaint Charbonneau and his Indian wife, Sacajawea, who served as guide and interpreter. They traveled through Montana and by horse over the Continental Divide to the headwaters of the Clearwater River. They built canoes to carry them to the Snake River and thence to the mouth of the Columbia River, where they built Ft. Clatsop (later Astoria, Ore.) and wintered over. After the group divided, then reunited to canoe down the Missouri to St. Louis, arriving to great acclaim in September 1806. Only one member had died. The journals kept by Lewis and others documented the Indian tribes, wildlife, and geography and did much to dispel the myth of an easy water route to the Pacific.

Very good Yafa , but I was looking for a name for the team , which was "The Corps of discovery".Celebrating the bicentennial this year!
