Russell contends that some experts misinterpreted Whitehouse's phrase:[camped]
"...near a round deep Sinque hole...." transcribing "near"
as "at." He sets the Sinque Hole at "... about six
tenths of a trail mile east of the actual camp at Indian Grave."
Hence his title for the September 17, 1805 campsite as Indian Grave
Camp. Indian Grave, right. A young Nez Perce, Albert Parsons Mallickan,
born in 1831, died as a teenager and his family buried him here on
the "old Nez Perce Indian Trail." The area has always been
a popular Native American campsite. On the morning of September 18,
1805, Clark and six hunters moved ahead in search of food while Lewis
moved more slowly with the rest of the Corps. Left side, arica flowers
and rocks on the trail. Top right, the view south. |
