Sparks uch of forgotten history related to the Lewis and Clark Expedition can be recovered in early, unpublished documents, or in long-forgotten publications. Al­ though the identity of many of the individuals referred to in the Lewis and Clark journals may be lost to antiquity, some, like the Whitesides and Jarrots of Illinois have maintained a family record. Others introduced obscurely in the journals, such as the enigmatic widow who lived near the Expedition's Wood River Camp and who was of service to the Lewis and Clark party, have been brought to light through the study of early documents. Over the years the very site of the Wood River Camp has been disputed. In more recent times, however, early Madison County, Illinois maps and writings that have been compared with modern maps give us a picture of the Mississippi and Missouri River changes and cast a rather dark shadow over the one-time common belief that the Expedition's Illinois camp site is in the present channel of the Mississippi River.

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.
