Lewis & Clark Trail
Sgt Floyd Monument
I headed east, from Lewis & Clark State Park, toward Onawa, IA. I proceeded north on I-29 to the Sgt Charles Monument located on a bluff east of the interstate in Sioux City. From here you look down on the Missouri, photo at left. Floyd fell ill and died Aug. 20, 1804 just north of this monument. His final interment is under the monolith. A forensic specialist produced a likeness, above, after studying the skull. At 150ft, the monument is the largest tribute to any mamber of the Corps of Discovery.
