President Thomas Jefferson sends James Monroe to purchase New Orleans from France. Instead, France offers to sell the entire Louisiana Territory to the United States. Jefferson asks Meriwether Lewis to lead an expedition to explore the new territory, naming it the Corps of Discovery.

John Muir was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States. He was born in 1838 in Scotland and immigrated to the U.S. in 1849, settling in Wisconsin. Despite receiving little formal education, he taught himself botany and geology. After suffering an injury, he dedicated himself to exploring and writing about nature. He embarked on many hiking expeditions, helped establish Yosemite National Park, and founded the Sierra Club in 1892 to advocate for protecting the Sierra Nevada mountains. Though he unsuccessfully fought the damming of Hetch Hetchy Valley, Muir remains one of the most important figures in the history of the modern environmental movement.

George Washington Carver was an African American scientist born into slavery in the 1860s who became a prominent botanist and agricultural chemist. He attended college and was offered a position at Tuskegee University, where he remained for the rest of his career. Through extensive experimentation, Carver developed over 300 uses for peanuts, including cosmetics, plastics, and gasoline. He also researched other crops like sweet potatoes and pecans. Carver's work helped improve agriculture and provided alternatives to help farmers. He received many honors for his scientific contributions but devoted his life savings to founding an agricultural research center to help others.
George Washington Carver was born into slavery in Missouri in 1864. He taught himself to read and used a small pencil stub to do so, as his family was too poor to afford school supplies. Carver went on to invent peanut butter and hundreds of other products using peanuts and sweet potatoes to help improve agriculture and help farmers. He believed that successful people served others and that nothing should be wasted if it could be reused.
George Washington Carver was born as a slave in Missouri in around 1860. He attended school and college, graduating from Iowa State Agricultural College in 1897. He then took a position at Tuskegee University, where he taught farmers new agricultural methods to improve soil quality and crop yields. Carver developed many products from peanuts when there was a surplus, including cosmetics, paints and dyes. He died in his later life after falling down a flight of stairs.
