After a long portage, we arrived at the great falls of the Missouri. The falls were approximately 300 feet wide and about 80-100 feet high. We weren’t able to bring along the barge on the crossing of the falls. We decided to leave the barge for the return trip but we decided to bring some pirogues which were considerably smaller, but would do the job when we get to the continuation of the river after the mountains.

A Brief Look at Stephen E.

asked that Polk designated, and stated that “Governor Polk was ablest example of Democratic teachings and the person who might be most fit for conveying them into fruitful operation.” The general did not exaggerate the political capacity of his portage.
