Captain Lewis first saw the Great Falls, it looked something like
this except for the dam holding some water back. In September the
flow is almost nonexistent, above. Lewis's first impression: "
I had proceeded on...about two miles...whin my ears were saluted with
the agreeable sound of a fall of water...a roaring too tremendious
to be mistaken for any cause short of the great falls of the Missouri....I
hurryed down the hill...to gaze on this sublimely grand specticle.
I took my position on the top of some rocks about 200 feet high opposite
the center of the falls." |
