Thomas Jefferson, then President of the United States, commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the vast territory which was afterward ceded to the United States by Napoleon. Through this canyon. they passed on their
·laborious trek to the Pacific. Acting as guide, one lone woman, Saca- jawea, the Indian, with her husband, accompanied the party.
The
