ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY: In 1804, one year after the United States doubled its territory with the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition leaves St. Louis, Missouri, on a mission to explore the Northwest from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. On May 14, the "Corps of Discovery"-featuring approximately 45 men (although only an approximate 33 men would make the full journey)-left St. Louis for the American interior. On September 23, 1806, after almost two and a half years, the expedition returned to the city, bringing back a wealth of information about the largely unexplored region, as well as valuable U.S. claims to Oregon Territory. 

CAFETERIA SPECIAL OF THE DAY:  Turkey carnitas over organic rice
