Description

Journals of Lewis and Clark, The. In 1804 Meriwether Lewis and William Clark embarked on a two-year voyage up the Missouri River and across the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Their journals constitute a portrait of the American West. Hugh Lewis research notation: Page 404: Recorded by Clark on September 16, 1806. Meeting Robidoux. "We set out early this morning and proceeded on tolerably well. The day proved excessively warm and disagreeable, so much so that the men rowed but little. At ten a.m. we met a large trading pirogue bound for the Pawnees. We continued but a short time with them. At 11 a.m. we met young Mr. Robidoux with a large boat of six oars and two canoes. The license of this young man was to trade with the Pawnees, Omahas, and Otoes, rather an extraordinary license for so young a man and without the seal of the territory annexed. As Gen. Wilkinson's signature was not to this instrument we were somewhat doubtful of it. Mr. Brown's signature we were not acquainted with without the Territorial Seal. We made some inquiries of this young man and cautioned him against pursuing the steps of his brother in attempting to degrade the American character in the eyes of the Indians. We proceeded on to an island a little above our encampment of the 16th and 17 of June 1804, having come 52 miles only today." 445/Hardcover/Black & orange/Jacket pictures Lewis and Clark and a map/Illustrations/Maps
