Lewis and Clark in MissouriFollow Their Footsteps Follow the Riversn St. Louis, on March 9 -10, 1804, amomentous transfer of lands tookplace that marked a profoundnew direction for the vast tractdrained by the Missouri River.The Louisiana Territory passedfrom Spanish and French handsto the United States of America,thereby doubling the size of thatfledging nation. Likely witnessing thistransfer were Meriwether Lewis andClarkWilliam Clark, two army officers withan extraordinary charge from the President of theUnited States, Thomas Jefferson, to explore this newlyacquired territory and proceed on to the Pacific Ocean.arriving at the Mandan/Hidatsa villages, they were joined bySacagawea, a Shoshone womanwho served as an interpreter.IMissouri was the launching pad for this great adventureand the tempestuous lower Missouri River itself presented the first major test of the leadership, characterand hardiness of the expedition.St. Louis, long the governmental center of the UpperLouisiana, played a vital role in the planning of theexpedition. During the winter of 1803-1804, the merchants and officials of this city provided tons of suppliesfor the upcoming journey, and vital maps and information on what lay ahead up the Missouri River. The Lewisand Clark Expedition entered the Missouri River onMay 14, 1804, well prepared for the first leg of their1,600-mile journey to the Mandan/Hidatsa Indian villages in present-day North Dakota.When the expedition left on its journey, the group ofover 45 included crew members from many culturesand backgrounds. While most were young soldiers, thegroup also included interpreters of French-Shawneeparentage, French boatmen, several of whom hadFrench fathers and mothers from the tribes of theUpper Missouri, and Clark’s black slave, York. AfterLewisFor the first 600 miles of theirtrip, they had to battle the swiftand dangerous currents of theMissouri River. By the time theyleft Missouri on July 18, 1804, theywere an efficient and motivated teamunited behind the common goal ofreaching the Pacific Ocean.After the triumphal return of the expedition to St. Louison Sept. 23, 1806, Lewis and Clark went on the helpcreate the future state of Missouri. Lewis served as territorial governor until his death in 1809. Clark spent along life in St. Louis, always playing a key role inMissouri’s growth and development. He served as general of militia, territorial governor, and finally as U.S.Indian agent for the Missouri River. He died in 1838and is buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis.The Departure from St. Charles, May 21, 1804, Gary R. Lucy1

The Journey BeginsLewis and Clark Campsiteshe Lewis and Clark Expedition spent a total of 103 days inwhat is now Missouri and camped at 70 different locationsalong the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The expeditionbegan to ascend the Mississippi River on Nov. 20, 1803, and arrivedat Wood River, opposite the mouth of the Missouri, on Dec. 12, 1803.This was a journey of 210 miles with 17 camps, eight of which were onthe Missouri side of the river.TOutbound, 1803-1804Return,1806Between May 14, 1804, and July 18, 1804, the Corps of Discovery traveled603.6 miles up the Missouri River to the present bounds of this state. Theycamped 53 times, and 43 of these were on the Missouri side of the river. On thereturn trip, the expedition again crossed the future northwestern border ofMissouri on Sept. 9, 1806. They were eager to cover the remaining distance tohome and reached St. Louis on Sept. 23, 1806. Of their 15 campsites along thisreturn route, 14 are within the present boundaryof Missouri.Throughout the journey, the crewencountered many adventures andbecame a team that conquered themall. Each expedition member had arole to play. York, Clark’s black slave,was the only member other than Sacagawea who had no choice about goingon the mission and received no compensation. However, York evidentially participated fully as a member of this historic journey. Journal entries state that hecarried a gun (which slaves usually were not allowed to do) as a part of his role tohelp supply fresh meat to the expedition. Other entries mention his role as a caregiverto the sick or injured, and later as a scout on a reconnaissance mission.York was also an object of curiosity to the Indians tribes the expedition encountered. “TheIndians [are] much astonished at my black servant and call him the big medicine man.This nation never saw ablack man before,” Clarkwrote.York’s story is just one ofthe many stories aboutthe expedition, its members and their impact onthe people and cultures theyencounteredalong theway.Foggy Morning, Gary R.

The captains encountered the Bird’s PointAmerican settlement and “a great many” Shawnee and DelawareIndians. Today, a wayside offers a dramatic view from the Missouriside of the meeting of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. Also, aninterpretive exhibit about Lewis and Clark is located at the HenryS. Whipple Park in Charleston.Apple Creek Conservation Area: On Nov. 25, 1803,the party came to Apple Creek, the largest stream on theMissouri side above the Ohio River that had yet been encountered. Apple Creek was the northern boundary of the CapeGirardeau District. Thanks to Lorimier’s policies, this districthad the largest American population in the UpperLouisiana area. Lewis noted in his journals that a largevillage of Shawnee Indians was located seven miles upF this creek.Commerce: On Nov. 22, 1803, Lewis and Clark noticed acluster of American settlements on a thickly wooded botB tom known as Tywappity Bottom. Lewis saw an 8-foot, 2inch tall horsetail plant growing in this lush bottom. As theexpedition passed the upper end of Tywappity Bottom, whereCommerce is now located, Lewis and Clark noticed a “handsomefarm.”Tower Rock Conservation Area: As the sun was starting to seton Nov. 25, 1803, Lewis and Clark saw Tower Rock, a famouslandmark to all rivermen.

Genevieve: Ste. Genevieve: On Nov. 28, 1803, Clarknoted that the party had landed opposite the old village ofA Ste. Genevieve. This flood-prone community, he said, wasknown as “Misar,” or Misery. On Dec. 3, after leaving FortKaskaskia, the party camped on the edge of the common fields, orGrand Champs, of the relocated town of Ste. Genevieve. Theywere two miles from “new” Ste. Genevieve, which today still hasmany historical buildings and reminders of its early French history.Bauvais-Amoureux House (ca 1792), Ste. GenevieveMagnolia Hollow Conservation Area: Soon after settingout on Dec. 4, 1803, Clark noted the mouth of GabouriB Creek, the landing for Ste. Genevieve. Above this creek,Clark saw highlands next to the river that formed a tremendousbluff. Today, Magnolia Hollow Conservation Area preserves forested highlands similar to those Clark saw.8Jefferson Barracks County Park: The morning of Dec. 7,1803, was dark and rainy as Clark’s party set off on theC river. At noon, a violent wind tore a mast off one of theboats.
