What did explorers take with them?
Explorers typically took resources that were new or hard to come by. The early explorers from Europe to the Americas took gold or silver in an attempt to gain financial support to continue their adventures. Other explorers such as Lewis and Clark brought back information that previously had only been known to Native people or trappers - one example being beaver furs.
How were horses brought to America?
