30 dic 1804 año - Lewis and Clark cross Iowa
Descripción:
Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark crossed Iowa on their expedition to explore Louisiana Territory. The Lewis and Clark explorations were to make contact with the Native American Indians, chart flora and fauna, and investigate the economic resources. The party went up the Missouri River in 1804, camping on the "Iowa" side of the river several times. They held a council with the Indians on the west side of the river, providing the source of the name for the city of Council Bluffs.
