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.

  • 39 Chapter 3 (11-01-11) “I Regard Col. John Floyd As Next to George
    Chapter 3 (11-01-11) “I regard Col. John Floyd as next to George Rogers Clark, the greatest man known in Kentucky in the early times.” Col. Reuben T. Durrett, 1824-1913, founder of the Filson Historical Society Is any part of Davis Floyd’s ancestry substantiated? The timeline in this story moves from the 1500’s through the intervening years to the 1700’s. The Floyd family is entrenched in various parts of the British colonies including Virginia. They were not gentry but they were hardworking, upper middle-class people whose contributions would be noticed and felt. Some Floyd Lineage is Dubious The first two chapters of this book dealt with issues which were not soundly based in fact. The story about a John Floyd who was born in Wales, fought under Elizabeth I in the battle against the Spanish Armada, and was knighted and married one of her ladies-in-waiting is not supported by any facts. The actuality of this John Floyd being identified as a Jesuit priest and a member of the Society of Jesus further compounds the error of this story. There is credible evidence of a John Floyd who was a Jesuit priest and held membership in the Society of Jesus, but it is unlikely he fathered any Floyds. There is no way that these John Floyds were the same person. There is no believable evidence of the other John Floyd having ever existed. The story about there being Indian blood in the Floyd lineage is supported by some facts. Thomas Rolfe had an aunt whose name was Cleopatra and he 39 petitioned the Virginia government at Jamestown and the court to see her.

  • Language Arts Extensions
    Language Arts Extensions • Introduce the Kentucky focus of the Lewis & Clark story with the worksheet, “The Famous Explorers Met in Kentucky: A Lewis & Clark Order-the-Story Activity,” attached. (P/E) • Given a newspaper template and an excerpt from a historic paper, students may title and illustrate the front page of a newspaper heralding Lewis & Clark’s return to Louisville in November 1806, writing their own story about the adventure for page 2. See the “Be a Newspaper Editor in 1806!” worksheet, attached. (E/M) Find a few other secondary source examples on the “Old Newspaper Accounts Regarding Lewis & Clark” page of the Library of Congress Web site, “Lewis & Clark on the Information Superhighway:” www.lcarchive.org/newspapers.html • After reading Lewis’s detailed descriptions in the journals, ask students to write a 1,000- word description of a plant or animal that they have directly observed. (E/M/H) • How did we imagine the West before Lewis & Clark? Investigate Thomas Jefferson’s speculations about the West—woolly mammoths, mountains of salt, and erupting volcanoes. Ask students to write a narrative piece to describe the fantasy of the unknown places. A visual arts extension could bring the fantasy landscapes in their imagination to life through illustration. (E/M/H) • Did Sergeant Nathaniel Pryor keep a journal? The captains required the squad leaders to do so, and Sergeant Floyd wrote in a journal until his untimely death. Students will “find” Pryor’s lost literary record of the Expedition, and the entries (written by the student) will tell of this Kentuckian’s experiences.
