Description
Fort Clark, first established on the Missouri River in 1 824 some 2,400 km above St. Louis, was for decades a principal hub of the fur trade and a well-known destination for prominent travelers. Illustrations and scientific observations made there continue to frame archaeologists’ views of the native peoples of the northern Plains.
