Lewis & Clark Trail - Fort Clatsop
Details from "Arrival" by Stanley Wanlass at Fort Clatsop Visitor Center. The attention to meticulous detail is evident in each of these examples. The Clatsop Indian must be a chief because the Captains awarded peace medals only to them. Clark described the flounder: "we found a Curious flat fish Shaped like a turtle with fins on each side, and a tale notched like a fish, the Internals on one Sid and tale & fins flat wise This fish Flownder has a white <belly> on one side & lies flat to the Ground."
