In 1806 the Lewis & Clark Expedition came to an end but for the thirty-three members of the Corps their days of exploration and adventure were not over. Many of the explorers could not resist the call of the wild and their unquenchable thirst for adventure led members to the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the opening of the transcontinental railroad.
