The rest of the story

The remaining words are from a National Geographic calendar of events.

In the fall of 1806

The captains are national heroes; as they travel to Washington, D.C., balls and galas are held in the towns they pass through. In the capitol, one senator tells Lewis it’s as if he had just returned from the moon. The men get double pay and 320 acres of land as rewards; the captains get 1,600 acres.  The government originally proposed that Lewis would receive 1,600 acres and Clark only 1000 but Lewis insisted that his co-captain be treated equally and so they did.  Lewis is named governor of the Louisiana Territory; Clark is made Indian agent for the West and brigadier general of the territory’s militia.

1809
October 11
Traveling east along the Natchez Trace in Tennessee, on his way from St. Louis to Washington, Lewis commits suicide at Grinder’s Stand, an inn south of Nashville. (Later, theories that he was murdered arise, but neither Clark nor Jefferson doubted the original, on-site reports that Lewis had shot himself. Few historians give credence to the the murder theory.)

1832
York dies sometime before this date, probably of cholera, after going into the freighting business in Tennessee and Kentucky. Clark had kept him in slavery for at least ten years following the expedition before granting him his freedom.

1838
William Clark had married Julia “Judith” Hancock, for whom he named a river in Montana; been respected as Indian agent (Native Americans called St. Louis the “Red-Headed Chief’s Town”); successful in business; and several times appointed governor of the Missouri Territory (though he lost the first election to be the new state’s governor, after being accused of being too “soft” on Indians). On this date he dies at the home of his eldest son, Meriwether Lewis Clark.

Late 1800s
It is believed that Sacagawea lived until the late 1800s and died on the Shoshone reservation in Wyoming.

As the late Paul Harvey used to say "now you know, the rest of the story."
