Famous explorer William Clark, of the 1804-06 Lewis and Clark "Corps of Discovery," did many great things, including helping to discover 122 kinds of animals (The Grizzly bear was one of them!)
The team was sent to explore newly purchased land (800,000 square miles, bought from France for $15 million dollars) west of the Mississippi River.
Trekking less than 14 miles a day (That ain't bad!), the team eventually reached the Pacific Ocean. Counting their trip west and back, the team traveled more than 8,000 miles!
As great an explorer as Clark was, it turns out he was a miserable speller, spelling "Mosquito" 15 different ways in his daily journal. That takes some doing!
1. mosquito...The correct spelling. (You can trust me-I was a spelling champion in 3rd grade!) Even an explorer is bound to get lucky once in a while.
2. moskeeto...Like "Mo money," only with mosquitos.
3. mesquiteoh...A spicy variety of mosquito, actually eaten by certain Ethiopian tribesmen.
