| | 200 Years Ago This Week... |
 | | During this week, the Lewis and Clark Expedition departed from a camp on Pataha Creek, east of present Pataha City, Garfield County, Washington, and traveled approximately 84.5 miles to the village of Nez Perce chief Broken Arm on Lawyer Creek, in present Lewis County, Idaho. |
 | | As a result, as Lewis noted, on Tuesday, “we once more obtained a plentifull meal, much to the comfort of all the party.” For treating one woman, Clark received a young horse, which was immediately butchered and served to the famished party. |
 | | Lewis lamented: “this is unwelcom inteligence to men confined to a diet of horsebeef and roots, and who are anxious as we are to return to the fat plains of the Missouri and thence to our native homes.” |
