William Clark holda unique place in American history and an even more unique place in the history of the Pacific North- west.The Lewis and Clark Expedition was the first official United States exploring expedition; perhaps themost important. 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.

WPO August 2019
AUGUST 2019 VOL 45 NO 3 “When they shook hands, the Lewis and Clark Expedition began.” — Stephen Ambrose • The Trail Extends – Now 4,900 Miles • From Pittsburgh to the Pacific • The Significance of the Eastern Legacy • Another Great Book from Larry Morris The Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation (LCTHF) is pleased to make this edition of our quarterly journal, We Proceeded On (WPO), available to residents of the Falls of the Ohio area. This issue of WPO highlights the importance of the eastern portion of the Lewis and Clark Expedition’s travels to the success of the mission. LCTHF is a national membership organization. Our mission is to protect, preserve, and promote the Lewis and Clark Trail and its stories. Along with help from many friends in the Falls area and elsewhere, the advocacy LCTHF has maintained for a half-century resulted recently in the official eastward extension of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. From its previous eastern terminus at Wood River, IL, across from St. Louis, MO, the extension runs down the Mississippi River and then up the Ohio River to Pittsburgh, PA, adding 1,200 miles to form a nearly coast-to- coast trail of 4,900 miles. This extension also, at last, adds Indiana to the map of the National Scenic and Historic Trails administered by the National Park Service and the Forest Service, the final state that remained to be included. The Falls of the Ohio area played a large role in the expedition’s preparatory phase. At the Falls, Lewis and Clark shook hands and became a working team.
