SEAMANThe Newfoundland dog who accompanied the Corps of Discovery to the Pacific and back. Bought by Meriwether Lewis for $20 in Pittsburgh in 1803. He was "praised much for his docility and qualifications generally for my journey." A quote by Lewis. "He was intelligent, loyal and strong. He won the affection of all the crew with his protective and hunting skills." William Clark wrote in his diary Seaman became "Our Dog".
