August 8th, as the combined Corps of Discovery moved their canoes
up the Jefferson/Beaverhead River, Sacajawea recognized this limestone
formation. Captain Lewis once again "determined" to strike
out overland to find Sacajawea's people. He took his expert hunter,
Drouillard, John Shields, and Hugh McNeal; but NOT Sacajawea. Lewis's
team traveled four times as fast overland as Clark's crews towed the
large canoes up the narrow, winding Beaverhead River. From hear to
Lehmi Pass there are a great number of signs with accurate information
covering this segment of the journey. I photographed, and now include,
parts of them. They tell the story far better than I could. I continued
driving south on MT HWY 41, following the river. |
