Lewis & Clark took the worse possible route...
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., September 20, 1820 On the back page under "View Of The Country On The Columbia" is a description of the regions of Columbia & Multnomah Rivers. The report mentions Lewis & Clark twice, and, in hindsight says: "The route taken by Lewis and Clark across the mountains was, perhaps the very worst that could have been selected."
Other news of the day plus a few runaway slave ads. Four pages, spotted foxing, good condition.
