    GREAT FALLS PORTAGE COMMORATIVE AWARD PATCH PORTAGE ROUTE CHAPTER LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL HERITAGE FOUNDATION, INC. “The mission of the LCTHF is: As Keepers of the Story – Stewards of the Trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, Inc. provides national leadership in maintaining the integrity of the Trail and its story through stewardship, scholarship, education, partnership and cultural inclusiveness.” The Portage Route Chapter supports this mission in the area of the Missouri River in and around Great Falls, Montana. A Memorandum of Understanding between the Boy Scouts of America and the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation was signed on August 6, 2007. The purpose of this memorandum was to establish a general framework for cooperation between the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation, Inc., and the Boy Scouts of America. Through this MOU the Foundation and BSA will collaborate on projects and programs that interpret the stories of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and provide stewardship of the Lewis and Clark national Historic Trail. The Lewis and Clark Trail also is an auto route with distinctive road signs that follows the water route taken by the Corps of Discovery, mostly along the Missouri River. In Montana, the Portage Route follows the trail of the expedition from the area of Lower Portage Camp westward to the White Bear Islands and Upper Portage Camp. The Portage Route Chapter wants to inspire the Boy Scouts to learn more about the Lewis and Clark Expedition by offering an embroidered patch. By way of an agreement with the Montana Council, BSA, this patch can be earned by Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, Explorers and Venture Scouts.

  • Meriwether Lewis the Science of Geology and Lewis and Clark in the Early 1800S
    “The object of your mission is to explore the Missouri river, & such principal stream of it, as, by it’s course & communication with the water of the Pacifi c ocean may offer the most direct & practicable water communication across this continent, for the purposes of com- merce. Other objects worthy of notice will be; the soil & face of the country . the animals...the remains or accounts of any which may be deemed . extinct; the mineral productions of every kind; but more particularly metals, limestone, pit coal, & saltpetre, salines & mineral waters, noting the temperature of the last, & such circumstances” Excerpt from instructions written by President Thomas Jefferson to Meriwether Lewis, June 20, 1803 The Science of Geology and Lewis and Clark in the early 1800s The science of Geology was in its infancy at the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Neither Lewis nor Clark had any training in geology, mining, or mineralogy. The geologic terms they used, however, reveal much about their understanding (and misunderstanding) of geology. Their journal entries name several rock types: chalk, fl int, fl intstone, freestone, granite, lava, limestone, marble, marl, pumicestone, sandstone, sandrock, slate, slate stone, and slate rock. Generally, the captains identifi ed these rock types correctly – but not always. The captains were acquainted with names of many minerals, nevertheless most of the minerals and salts that they described were identifi ed incorrectly. Lewis and Clark sometimes ascribed colors to rocks that probably resulted from conditions of sunlight, shadow or vegetation rather than to actual color of the rocks themselves. Both captains had a good command of geograph- ic terms and used most of them in their current meaning.

DESCRIPTORS *American Indians; Educational Facilities; Field Trips; *Government Role; Historic Sites; Indigenous Populations; *National Parks; *United States History; *War IDENTIFIERS Nez Perce (Tribe); Site Visits ABSTRACT Few places in the west are as evocative of the tragic story of the Indian Wars as Big Hole (Montana) National Battlefield. The site memorializes the bravery of the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers and volunteers who fought there during the epic flight of the Nez Perce in 1877. Big Hole preserves the scene of one of the most famous battles of the Indian Wars. This administrative history is divided into chronological chapters, with each chapter divided into topical sections and subsections. A chronological organization highlights two salient themes in Big Hole National Battlefield's administrative development:(1) its long evolution as a small unit assigned to a succession of federal agencies (the War Department, the Forest Service, and the National Park Service); and (2) the close connection that exists between its land base, interpretive (education) program, and resource management.

  • National Historic Trail Progress Report Winter 2016
    Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Progress Report Winter 2016 Administrator’s Corner Dear NPNHT Supporters, I would like to begin with a heartfelt thank you for making 2015 a year of major progress for the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail (NPNHT). With your help we enhanced our outreach and education efforts, and made advancements for heritage, stewardship, conservation preservation, and continued to share the NPNHT with a wide audience. Your support and dedication to the NPNHT is making a positive impact to preserve and protect this important National Historic Trail to make it more accessible for everyone whether they visit the Trail on the ground, visit special sites associated with the Trail, or virtually. In 2015, together we empowered many volunteers and Challenge Cost Share partners. Some of those resulted in the reopening of more than 3 miles of trail on the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest and the 2016 “Exploring the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail” marketing program for the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain Regions which will build upon the awareness generated from the 2015 program. We added NPNHT historic sites and visitor centers Photo Service Forest U.S. on new Auto Tour brochures for Montana, Idaho, and Oregon and including the NPNHT on Sandra Broncheau- reprinted brochures for Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. To see more on our great McFarland with Smokey partners see details in side of this report. Bear. We enabled thousands of people to virtually access the trail through the NPNHT website, our photo gallery, Flickr and YouTube, and virtual Trail experiences.
