 Lewis & Clark in Columbia River Country
he exploits of the Lewis and Clark expedition west of the Continental Divide, in what might be termed "Columbia River Country", were among the most important, vivid, and compelling episodes of the entire journey.
After the expedition emerged from the Bitterroot Mountains of north central Idaho in late September, 1805, Meriwether Lewis ceased keeping a daily journal until January 1, 1806, by which time the party was safely ensconced in the relatively comfortable confines of Fort Clatsop.

MGen MacKenzie, although carrying out duties at the behest of his superiors, could have immediately returned from Fort Leavenworth when the decision was made to remove LCol Morneault, and personally visited the CAR to ascertain that the change in leadership proceeded well.

Nonetheless, MGen (ret) MacKenzie admitted that perhaps he should have personally observed Exercise Stalwart Providence, and that the obstacles (that is, the commitments that he had taken on with the encouragement of his superiors) which prevented his attendance could have been overcome.
