Part 1: Estimated Distances

Postexpedition 1806

Clark prepared this extensive list of estimated distances for the route from St. Charles, Missouri, to the Pacific Coast and the return as an apparent supplement to his route maps. This document is found in Codex N, pp. 128–42 (reading backwards). Some of the numbers under the last column ("Distances up the Missouri") have been lined through in the codex, but the marks appear to be more check-offs than actual strike outs. Since many are quite faint and questionable they are not shown here as strike outs. A similar list is in Voorhis No. 4; it has been compared to this one and significant variations have been noted. The table in the Voorhis notebook probably served as a duplicate to guard against loss or injury to the codex piece.

Note Fort Clatsop is Situated on the West Side of an three miles up the Netul River from Meriwethers bay and Seven miles East from the nearest part of the Sea Coast. at this fork Capt. M. Lewis and Capt. Wm. Clark wintered in the winter 1805 & 6—.

The rout by which we went out by the way of the Missouri to it's head 3096 miles thence by land, by way of Lewis'es River over to Clarks river and down that to the enterance of travellers rest Creek where all the roads from different routs Come together thence across the ruged part of the rocky Mountains to the navagable branches of the Columbia 398 Miles. thence down that river 640 miles to the pacific Ocian makeing a Total distance of 4134 miles—. On our return in 1806 from Travellers rest Creek directly to the falls of the Missouri River Shortins the distance about 579 miles, and a much better rout, reduceing the distance from Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean to 3555 Miles, 2575 miles to this distance is up the Missouri to the Falls of that river— from thence passing through the plains and across the Rocky mountain to the navagable part of Kooskooske river a branch of the columbia 340 miles, 200 miles of which is a good road, 140 miles over a tremendious Mountain Steep and broken, 60 miles of which is covered Several feet deep with Snow on which we passed the last of June; from the navagable part of the Kooskooske we decended that rapid river 73 miles to its enterance into Lewis's river and down that river 154 miles to the Columbia and down that river 413 Miles to enterance into the Pacific Ocian, about 180 miles of this distance is tide water. passed Several bad rapids and narrows and one Considerable fall 268 miles above the enterance of this river of 37 feet 8 inches— the Total distance decending the Columbian waters 640 miles makeing a total of 3555 miles on the most direct rout from the Mississippi at the mouth of the Missouri to the pacific Ocian.

The fur trade may be carried on from the heads of the Missouri to the mouth of Columbia much cheaper than by any rout be which it Can be Conveyed to the East indias. 〈you〉 form an establishment on the River Rochejhone for the reception of the furs of that river & South and one at Marias river below the great falls of Missouri. the Shoshones within the rocky mountains the Tushepaws on Clarks river and maney nations west of the Rocky mountains would visit those establishments from whome horses might be got on the most reasonable termes for the purpose of packing the furs across those mountains which may be passed from the 20th of June untill the last of September. ^[10]

You may leave those establishments on the Missouri 15 or 20 of June and arive on the Kooskooske river between the 1s & 5th of July. from that time you have untill the middle of September to decend the River and return to the mountains in time to pass them before the Snow becomes too Deep to Cross them.

Note The Indians inform us that there is an excellent road from the 3 forks of the Missouri through a low gap in the mountains to the East fork of Clarks river which passes down that fork to its junction and up on the West Side of the main fork to Travellers rest Creek which they travel with their families in 6 days the distance must be about 150 miles, that added to 48 which is the portage from the River Rochejhone is 198 miles which is 26 miles further than the rout by the way of the falls of the Missouri—.

One other rout from the River Rochejhone which is also a good one but Something further is from the head of the east fork of Galletins River on a direct course to the mouth of Wisdom River and up that river and Glade Creek and across to Clarks river in the Oatlashshoot Valley and from thence down that river to the Travellers rest Creek, at which point all the roads in this quarter of the appear to Center at the foot of those tremendious mountains— the best and most direct rout is by way of the falls of the Missouri and Travelers rest— Several roads pass from the Missouri above the falls to Travellrs rest Creek.—

refur to Book No. 9— from the 19 Novr. to 29 of January 1806, for a Statement of the River Rochejhone & that part of our rout from the Falls of Missouri across the Mountains on our outward bound journey, all of which is estimated. ^[11]

1. The figures for this column do not appear in many instances in Voorhis No. 4. (back)

2. Unnamed in Voorhis No. 4. (back)

3. Given as "Big Horn River" in Voorhis No. 4. (back)

4. Given as "10" in Voorhis No. 4. (back)

5. The figures under the respective columns are given as "3, 10, 200, and 2775" in Voorhis No. 4. (back)

6. This figure is given as "5" in Voorhis No. 4 and no other figures appear under this entry. (back)

7. The Voorhis No. 4 version reads: "To the Junction of the roads on the tope of the highest mountain crossed a fork at Flathead R. at 2 ms." The figure under column two is given as "15." After this entry the Voorhis No. 4 version differs considerably with the codex journal. In the Voorhis notebook Clark condensed the remaining entries to a single page, mentioning only the major points from "Hungary Creek" to the coast. (back)

8. With this entry it appears that Lewis begins writing and seems to do so intermittantly until the entry for "Fannys Island" at mileage 3490. It is not certain whether he also entered the mileage figures. (back)

9. This phrase in red ink appears to be in Clark's handwriting. Book no. 9 refers to Codex I which was notebook number nine in Biddle's numbering system. The emendation, therefore, must have been written about 1810 when Clark and Biddle were confering on the latter's work on the history of the expedition. A similar reference occurs at the end of this section of Codex N, again written in red and again apparently in Clark's hand. (back)

10. This paragraph and the next one are crossed out with a heavy diagonal line. (back)

11. This paragraph, apparently in Clark's hand, is written in red ink; see a note above in reference to "Book No. 9." (back)
