Excerpt from Gass Letter


Did You Know? Great Falls
The falls that Patrick Gass wrote about were the Great Falls of the Missouri River. Lewis and Clark expected it would take a couple of days to move the canoes around the falls. It actually took over a month and they had to haul the canoes 18 miles around 5 waterfalls.
