BACK ISSUES OF the chapter are to be commended. "WE PROCEEDED ON" The Metro St. Louis Chapter deserves recog­ nition for its active participation in promoting AVAILABLE the development of the MKT Missouri River Trail and for its efforts in expanding the his­ toric site in Illinois at Camp DuBois. The chap­ ter has also been instrumental in the increased membership of the Foundation. This has been through the Membership Promotion and Public Relations Committee of which the chapter is the staff. Another significant contribution to the increase in membership is from Dayton Duncan, author of Out West. His mention of the Foundation and its activities has inspired many readers to contact the Foundation for in­ formation and membership. The Washington Lewis and Clark Trail Com­ mittee has organized the Lewis and Clark Trail Run which looks to be an outstanding event for the Washington State Bicentennial in 1989. Patti Thomsen has invested considerable time and effort in the Young Adults Committee by involving the Girl Scouts through their Wid­ er Opportunities Program. It is hoped that this will interest Scouts from all around the country and will continue to grow. The Portage Route Chapter has been very successful in its many projects. The progress on locating the Lewis and Clark cache site and on a National Interpretive Center in Great Falls are exciting. - 1' A limited number of copies of back issues of " We It has been an honor to serve as your p re~ i­ Proceeded On" are available at $2 per single issue for denl this year and it is my hope that the Foun­ Foundation members, and $2.50 for non-members. dation will continue to grow and enhance .the Several WPO supplements are also available.

AUGUST 1988 WE PROCEEDED ON 3 SACAJAWEA: The origin c NOTE: There can be no question that "Sacaga­ wea" was the name used by Lewis and Clark to identify the Indian lady who accompanied their expedition to the Pacific Ocean. Lewis and Clark scholars since the turn of the century have ac­ cepted the "Sacaga­ wea" spelling, and yet they have been tolerant of other renditions. Nev­ ertheless, it is somewhat important that a stand­ ard spelling be adopted, but is certainly not es­ sential. One could hardly place the study of the In­ dian woman's name in the category of Lewis and Clark scholarship. However, like the con­ troversy over her final resting place, it does have certain peripheral fascination to some stu­ dents of the Expedition. The following article is not an attempt to lay to rest any controversy. On the contrary, its purpose is better suited to reveal that the controversy over the Indian woman's name may never be re­ solved. A more detailed ac­ count is being published as a booklet.

  • Kidnapped and Sold Into Marriage on the Lewis and Clark Expedition
    Fact or Fiction? Name: _________________________ Below is a passage on Sacagawea. On the following page is a chart with ten statements. Indicate whether each statement is fact or fiction. Sacagawea was born sometime around 1790. She is best known for her role in assisting the Lewis and Clark expedition. She and her husband were guides from the Great Plains to the Pacific Ocean and back. Kidnapped and Sold into Marriage Sacagawea was kidnapped from her Shoshone village by Hidatsa Indians when she was twelve years old. She was promptly sold into slavery. She was then sold to a French fur trapper by the name of Toussaint Charbonneau. The pair became married and had a son named Jean-Baptiste. On the Lewis and Clark Expedition Although there are conflicting opinions concerning how important Sacagawea was to the Lewis and Clark expedition, she did serve as the interpreter and negotiator to the Shoshone tribe - that was led by her brother Cameahwait. She helped them obtain essential supplies and horses while she carried her infant son on her back. Furthermore, Sacagawea helped identify edible plants and herbs and prevented hostile relations with other tribes simply by being with the expedition. She was even more important on the return trip because she was familiar with the areas in which the expedition was traveling. Lewis and Clark received credit for discovering hundreds of animals and plants that Sacagawea had probably seen for years. Although she received no payment for her help, her husband was rewarded with cash and land. Death and Adoption of her Children Six years after the journey, Sacagawea died after giving birth to her daughter Lisette.

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. This question One of the interesting questions I get from is also problematic because it is often time to time is, “Where is the Trail?” This based in a lack of understanding of what a seems like an easy enough question to National Historic Trail is and how the Lewis answer. My first instinct is to hand someone and Clark expedition moved through the our brochure with a map of the trail on landscape.

  • Following in Their Footsteps: Creating the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, by Wallace G. Lewis
    WashingtonHistory.org FOLLOWING IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS Creating the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail By Wallace G. Lewis COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2002: Vol. 16, No. 2 In May 1961 conservationist and celebrated political cartoonist for the Des Moines Register, J. N. "Ding" Darling, proposed that the Missouri River be incorporated into "a national outdoor recreation and natural resources ribbon along the historic trail of Lewis and Clark." Gravely ill, Darling knew he would not live to see such a project carried out, but he secured banker and fellow conservationist Sherry Fisher's promise to initiate a campaign for it. Darling, who had briefly served President Franklin D. Roosevelt as chief of the Biological Survey, was famous for his syndicated editorial cartoons promoting wildlife sanctuaries and opposing dam construction, particularly on his beloved Missouri River, and had been a major founder of the National Wildlife Federation. Following his friend's death in February 1962, Sherry Fisher helped form the J. N. "Ding" Darling Foundation, which he steered toward creation of a Lewis and Clark trail corridor that would also provide habitat for wildlife. Encouraged by Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, representatives of the foundation, federal agencies, and the states through which the Lewis and Clark trail passed met in Portland, Oregon, in the fall of 1962 to discuss the Darling proposal. Congress approved a trail plan in principle in 1963, and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation began to study development along a ten-mile corridor for inclusion in a proposed nationwide system of scenic trails. On October 6, 1964, Public Law 88-630 was passed authorizing creation of a Lewis and Clark Trail Commission to promote public understanding of the expedition's historical significance and to review proposals for developing "desirable long-term conservation objectives" and recreation opportunities along its length.
