The Class of 2015 with Daniel Boone
After our class covered the Cardinals' rubber match with the Dodgers on Sunday, we had the opportunity to visit St. Charles for dinner. We were told that the area was of historical significance because of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Since I didn't have any prior knowledge of the expedition, I did some research. I discovered that the site at St. Charles marked the final embarkation point of Lewis and Clark's journey. On May 14, 1804, Clark and 42 men stopped at St. Charles, which is the first permanent European settlement on the Missouri River and one of the first in Missouri.
We were able to visit the site, and found it a nice experience--though our excitement was quickly replaced with another emotion--fear of a sports check question about the Lewis and Clark Expedition from Mr. Carter.
