William Clark
1770 - 1838
William Clark was born on August 1, 1770, in Caroline County Virginia. Clark served in the militia, resigning in 1796 to attend family properties in Kentucky. In 1803, he accepted the invitation of Meriwether Lewis to co-command an expedition to the Pacific Ocean. Clark was recruited by Lewis to help lead the "corps of discovery" ordered by President Thomas Jefferson. Clark’s duties included record keeping of the voyage, which has given historians much of the information on this important trip. Clark also created maps of the uncharted area for future explorers. After the successful journey, Clark published the journals from the expedition and from 1813 to 1820, he served as governor of the Missouri Territory. Clark held many public offices in St. Louis and served as U.S. Superintendent of Indian Affairs. He died at age 69 on September 1, 1838, while at the home of his son, Meriwether Lewis Clark.His cause of death is unknown and is only described as a "brief illness." .
