| 1805/07/16 | William Clark | Explorer | This rock I called the tower. It may be ascended with some difficulty nearly to it's summit and from it there is a most pleasing view of the country we are now about to leave. From it I saw that evening immense herds of buffaloe in the plains below. ML | Lewis and Clark Expedition | ||
