But then there are those who want to know exactly where the trail is…meaning where is the path that Lewis and Clark walked on to the Pacific? This is not such an easy question to answer. Part of the difficulty with this question is that with few exceptions we do not really know exactly where they walked. In many cases, some members of the expedition were Mark Weekley, Superintendent on the river in watercraft while others were on land at the same time.

These were the first American citizens tocross the con- tinent, the first to travel down the Snake and lower Columbia rivers.They were the first Americans to dwell in the only part of the American domain thatwas never the possession of another power.Spain. Russia, and Great Britain contested for its ownership, but the Oregon Countrycame direct to the United States from the Indian inhabitants.The expedition of Lewis and Clark contributed to that end, and helpedto add to the United States an area about halfas large as that of the original Thirteen States, thefirst American land on Pacific shores. Many books, large and small, by historians and novelists, have been published on the expedition, includingacentury after their tripthe original journals of Captains Lewis and Clark.In those books the expedition is viewed in thecourse of our national history, which then still centered on the Atlantic seaboard.In them the events at Fort Clatsop receive but brief treatment, although here was their goal, and, although their journey was only half completed, here theywere at their farthest point.

    Captain Meriwether Lewis's Branding Iron

    Captain Meriwether Lewis's Branding Iron By Unknown Captain Meriwether Lewis carried this branding iron on the Corps of Discovery’s 1804–1806 exploration of western North America (the captains also carried a smaller "stirrup iron" used to brand horses). The details of this artifact’s manufacture are unknown, but historians have speculated that it might have been produced in 1804 at the armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, or perhaps by Private John Shields, a member of the Corps known for his iron-working skills. Lewis probably traded the iron to someone in the spring of 1806 near present-day The Dalles. In the 1890s, Hood River resident Linnaeus Winans found the iron on the north shore of the Columbia River near Memaloose Island. He gave the artifact to Philip L. Jackson, publisher of the Oregon Journal, who donated it to the Oregon Historical Society in 1941. Irons such as this one were too large for branding livestock and were usually used to mark wooden packing crates, barrels, and leather bags. Lewis’s iron was also used to mark trees as the members of the Corps made their way across the continent. In some cases, tree blazes functioned as property markers. When Expedition members stashed a pirogue on an island near the mouth of the Marias River on June 10, 1805, for example, Clark recorded that Lewis “branded several trees to prevent the Indians injureing her.” Expedition members carved their names into rocks and cliff faces on more than a dozen occasions, leaving a trail of what some historians have termed “graffiti.” Written by Cain Allen, 2004; revised 2021 Further Reading:Saindon, Bob.
