Title: P-064 Yellowstone Expedition Letters
Date: 1819-06-11
Description: This pair of autograph letters are from Lieutenant Isaac Clark to his Father, Colonel Isaac Clark of Vermont, describing his efforts to outfit the Atkinson Expedition to the Yellowstone River. Letters also discuss the City of Saint Louis, where Lt. Clark was staying at the time. The Yellowstone Expedition detailed in these letters is a little-known but significant early western expedition. It was organized in 18191 and was under the command of Col. (later Brigadier General) Henry Atkinson. The group was charged with ascending the Missouri River by steamboat (an early attempt at such travel on the Missouri) to establish a series of forts along the river to protect the American fur trade, guard against hostile Indians, and counteract the presence of the British Hudson’s Bay Company in the region. The expedition ultimately reached the “Council Bluff” in eastern Nebraska, where they established Fort Atkinson, near the Missouri River. The troops at Fort Atkinson endured a harsh winter in 1819-1820, and lack of provisions left them susceptible to scurvy and other diseases, which ultimately claimed between 100 and 200 lives. Clark’s letters give a rare firsthand account of the logistics and provisions of the expedition. Both letters are written by Lieut. Clark, to his father, Col. Isaac Clark in Castleton, Vermont. Isaac Clark, Sr. (1742-1822) had a military career that spanned some fifty years. He fought in the Revolutionary War, participating in the Battle of Bennington (1777) and the recapture of Fort Ticonderoga (1778). During the War of 1812 he led Vermont troops in patrolling the border with Quebec to prevent smuggling and led several military forays into Quebec. He also served in several political and judicial positions in Vermont.

Title: P-099 Wright, Thomas Immigration Narrative
Date: 1817
Description: This manuscript journal was written in 1817 by Thomas Wright, a druggist and veterinarian, as he traveled from his native home in England to the Morris Birkbeck settlement in southern Illinois. The pages are filled with his optimism and courage as he set off on a long and winding journey over open ocean, to distant shores, and across the wild American West. His careful and detailed observations of his trip down the Ohio River make this piece one of the finest unpublished works in existence on early American river travel to this region. The journal also paints a cross-spectrum picture of early Americans, as Wright describes the people he met along the way, from lawyers and merchants to African American freed peoples.
