William+Clark-Christina

Introduction
My "I am..." person is William Clark, the co-leader of the "Lewis and Clark Expedition." I became interested in this person because I just knew the general story of the expedition, but did not know much about the leader, William Clark. I desired to know more deeply about him. I already knew that William Clark led the "Lewis and Clark Expedition" ordered by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the route across America's new territories of the Louisiana Purchase. I also know that Meriwether Lewis was the one to suggest William Clark as the co-leader of the expedition. (This was the main reason why I chose to research Clark rather than Lewis, because Clark must have been an important man to have Lewis, who was Thomas Jefferson's right hand, suggest him.) Unfortunately, this was all I knew about the famous explorer. While researching William Clark, I had a few questions in mind: What are Clark's personalities? What was his main role in the expedition other than being the co-leader? What was Clark's childhood like? Did he have any other jobs besides an explorer? Furthermore, I wondered if there were any fun or interesting facts about William Clark.
