St. Louis: The Town as Seen by Lewis and Clark

Click Here To See The "City Along The River"

The St. Louis seen by Lewis and Clark in 1803 and 1804 was very different from the city that later grew on the same spot. In 1804, there were only about 200 buildings, inhabited by less than 1000 people. The common language was French, although Spanish, English and Indian languages such as Osage and Illini were also commonly spoken.
