b. Write six complete sentences about what you learned: (you

1. The dog is mentioned frequently in the journals,
including Lewis’s praise of the “sagacity” of Seaman
2.
In discovering this spelling of the dog’s name, Dr. Jackson, commenting in his
book, Among the Sleeping Giants, wrote: “No person named Seaman is known to
have been associated with the lives of either captain, and as a common term the
word seems strangely nautical in view of its location. When it became necessary
for Lewis and Clark to name a creek, river, or other geographical feature, they
were predictably direct and simple in their choices...They usually went
straight to the heart of the matter and chose a sound, reasonable name for the
simplest of reasons: to commemorate a member or sponsor of the expedition.”
3. Seaman was mentioned about 8 times in both Lewis and
Clark’s journals.
4. On July 5 he “saw two swam in this beautiful Creek...”
and proceeded on “3 miles to the entrance of a large creek 20 yds. wide [which
I] Called Seaman’s Creek.”
5. It is unclear whether Seaman traveled the last leg of the
journey down the Missouri River to St. Louis. No post-expedition primary
documentation has been found linking a Newfoundland dog to the exploring
enterprise.
6. Bewick accompanied his commentary with an engraving that
represented the breed as black and white, later to be known as a Landseer.

At the fort Clatsop National Historical park. They had an

with water, and tracking animals and other things that Lewis and Clark would
need to have done on this journey.

f. What do you think about York’s role in the expedition and
the Corps of Discovery? Write a good 5 sentence paragraph:
York was a big part of the expedition because he was the

around. Although close to the end of the expedition, I bet York felt equality
to the white men when he was given a right to vote. York had small but big role
in the Lewis and Clark expedition, they probably would never had succeeded if
it wasn’t for York.
