After the expedition was over, in late October Lewis and Clark led a cavalcade eastward that included Mandan and Osage Indian representatives.

Clark met up with Washington to gather his rewards for completing the expedition successfully. These rewards were double pay while on service with the corps, a warrant for 1,600 acres of land, and a double appointment as Brigadier General of Militia and Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Territory of Upper Louisiana, which was put into effect in early March 1807.
