Lewis & Clark Point of Departure: The River Dubois
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.28 дней назад
The phrase "Point of Departure" originates from Captain Meriwether Lewis himself. On May 14, 1804, he wrote in his journal: "The mouth of the River Dubois is to be considered as the point of departure." That spring day, as the Lewis and Clark Expedition set out from what is now Wood River Creek, they embarked on a journey that would reshape the future of the United States. After more than a yea...

Eventually one of the Corps of Discovery’s most famous veterans, John Colter joined the expedition early, became one of its most useful hands, left it early, and yet did not get home until nearly four years after it ended.

The Legend of Big Bone Lick

What’s a lick, and what do big bones have to do with it? A “lick” is a term for a natural occurrence of salt. They usually appear around sulfur springs, which are places where water and minerals bubble out of the ground. It often smells like rotten eggs. People call these places “licks” because animals like to lick the salty deposits. The “big bone” part of its name came from huge bones in this...

    Very cool! 🙂 I'm always thinking what it must have been like for my indigenous ancestors who lived here during Lewis and Clark. I also had a 4th great grandfather who worked for the Hudson Bay company and married the Walla Walla chief Peopeomoxmox 's daughter. He also signed the treaty of 1855.😁🙂 I could talk about this everyday 😄. It nice to see other's care about the history of the indigenous people who were here before. 🙂❤

      Hi Steve, thanks for that comment/question. Plenty of conflicting and even controversial layers in the story. Three or more different burial sites (as Amy talks about in the video, three different spellings (j, g, k) depending upon the region of the country, and different pronunciations. The K is predominate in western North Dakota and you see this reflected in location names such as Lake Sakakawea. The Lewis & Clark Trail Alliance has a great website full of articles, images, and other resources. If you are interested, check out lewis-clark.org/?s=sacagawea to read more.

    Glad to find this. I was a federal interpretive ranger based in Salmon, Idaho from 2000-2006 and staff historian at the Sacajawea Interpretive Center here another ten years. I published a biography of Sacagawea for young readers and I'm working on another one for the general public. Amy Mossett is a serious student of history and an engaging presenter on the story of Sacagawea. I wish I had the opportunity to hear more of her programs. Seeing the Tent of Many Voices again brings back many happy memories. And I appreciate the quote from Karenne Wood's beautiful poem, which brought me to tears when I first heard her read it at the opening ceremonies at Monticello in January, 2003.

    Had John Potts not sacrificed his life Coulter would have likely found his final resting place on the banks of the Jefferson River. In the winter of 1809,-09 While going by canoe up the Jefferson River, Potts and Colter were ambushed by a Blackfoot war party. Colter surrendered but Potts refused and he was hit by an arrow and wounded. Potts in his turn shot one of the Blackfoot and died riddled with arrows fired from the shore. His body was brought ashore and hacked to pieces. The Blackfoot got their blood-lust satisfied and decided to play games with Colter. They stripped Colter naked and allowed him to make a run for it. Potts sacrifice allow his old friend the opportunity to make his run into history.

    A fascinating story and great video. I spent 46 years working on the Mississippi River and passed this location quite a bit. Your facility looks great and will make a point to visit now that I'm retired. I had an email communication with the fine folks at the University of Montana in Billings some years back who found one of Captain Clark's camp-sites on the Yellowstone while on their return home. The archaeological staff were able to find trace of mercury in the soil at the camp, which was doled out by the Captains for various illnesses of the day. It was a major accomplishment to get up the Missouri in 1804... the current is very swift and unrelenting. Best of the Holidays to all at Camp Dubois! Luke Moore Paducah, Ky.

    This Oral History only increases my respect for the Nez Perce Nation and its history with Lewis and Clark's Corps Of Discovery. I had never heard the true history of Watkuweis and her intercession to save the Corps of Discovery. Nor had I heard about Clark's Nez Perce son. There is a Harvard Graduate studying both the Oral Traditions of Native American Indian Tribes (The Red Record) and the "Y Chromosome" bloodlines of Fathers. I think you would be interested to investigate this and perhaps discover if there are any more living ancestors of William Clark's Nez Perce Son. His name is Dr. Nathaniel T. Jeanson. He could aid you in this endeavor. He is associated with Answers In Genesis. Thank you again for posting this amazing Nez Perce Oral Tradition.

I read so many books about chief Joseph I Will Fight No More forever. Well I’m adopted, and in 2015 I met my biological family. My mom‘s mother father was a shields. I am a descendent of John shields who was the eldest and one of the only ones married on the expedition. So maybe this explains my great love for your people.
