NEW YORK HERALD, Nov. 8, 1806  Page 2 has a somewhat brief yet very noteworthy report concerning Lewis & Clark and their exploration party. 
It is an "Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at St. Charles to his friend in Washington..." and reads: "I have the pleasure to inform you of the arrival of captains Lewis and Clark. They were the first white people that ever visited that country. By the best accounts they could get, there are about ninety or one hundred thousand inhabitants (Indians) on the west side of the Rocky Mountains; horses without number. It is thought to be a very poor Indian that did not own 300 horses. Not an iron tool among them. They erected a fort on the sea shore, and engraved their names. They have brought a number of curiosities; among which is a wild sheep; its head and horns weigh about 80 or 90 pounds. He was caught on the Rocky Mountains."
Four pages, binding indents at the blank spine, good condition.
