Manuscript copy of William Clark’s obituary from the St. Louis Republican, 1838, and an account of William Clark’s expedition to Prairie du Chien in 1814. Verso: “Obituary of Genl. William Clark by Fred. Billon Sept. 3rd, 1838.” Appears to be in the hand of Meriwether Lewis Clark. [There is no acquisition information on this item but the handwriting is that of Fred Billon, author of The Annals of St. Louis . . ., and matches the paper and note-taking techniques found in the Fred Billon Papers in the Missouri Historical Society Archives. It would appear that Mr. Billon gave his notes to a family member; therefore, we have tentatively dated them from the 1870s and placed them with the Meriwether Lewis Clark Papers.], ca. 1870s
