The Exploration of the Louisiana Purchase. It is often said that the purpose of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was to explore the Louisiana Purchase, the vast land purchase that doubled the size of the United States. In fact, the expedition had been planned and Jefferson was intent on it proceeding before the United States had any expectation of purchasing land from France.
Lewis and Clarkâs expedition is followed by an expedition led by Zebulon M. Pike in 1806. This expedition was the brainchild of General James Wilkinson, a newly appointed governor of the Louisiana Territory.
