Livingston and Three Forks, Montana

By Lynn Roginske

If you’re interested in the Lewis and Clark Expedi-

tion and their travels through Montana, there are

two stops along Montana’s I-90 that are especially

worthwhile to include in your itinerary: The Yel-

lowstone Gateway Museum in Livingston and the

Missouri Headwaters State Park just outside of

Three Forks.

Livingston, situated along the Yellowstone River,

is quick and easy to access by taking the I-90 Busi-

ness loop (EXIT 330 or EXIT 333) into town.

Highly promoted for tourism during the late 19th century by the Northern

Pacific Railway, Livingston became the original gateway to Yellowstone

National Park. Today, it’s more than just a turn off for those heading toward

the geysers. It’s rich in Lewis and Clark Expedition history that you can dis-

cover at the Yellowstone Gateway Museum and Sacajawea Park.

I made my first visit to the Yellowstone Gateway Museum this summer dur-

ing my road trip across Montana to visit family. The museum is housed in-

side a stately 1907 Renaissance

Revival style building that had

been an elementary school. It’s

now listed on the National Reg-

ister of Historic Places. The

museum contains an array of

top-notch exhibitions, interpre-

tative information and interac-

tive displays.

During this time in history: (January 1804 - January 1807)

(The source for all entries is, "The Journals

of the Lewis & Clark Expedition edited by

Gary E. Moulton, U. of Nebraska Press,

1983-2001.)

Our journal entries continue with our look at the

Field brothers. In this issue we look at the activi-

ties of Reuben Field, one of the nine young men

from Kentucky selected by William Clark. After

overcoming some disciplinary issues at Camp

Dubois, IL Reuben was appointed to the perma-

nent party along with his brother Joseph. The

Field brothers were among the best shots and

hunters in the Corps of Discovery and along with

George Drouillard, were often chosen to accom-

pany the captains on special reconnaissances.

January 16, 1804, Camp Dubois, IL, Clark: “…

The party made up a shooting match with the

country people for a pair of leggings. REUBEN

FIELDS made the best shot, next one Windsor

and the third and fourth was Shields and Fra-

zer…”

March 3, 1804, Camp Dubois, IL, Detachment

Orders, Lewis: “The commanding Officer feels

himself mortified and disappointed at the disor-

derly conduct of REUBEN FIELDS, in refusing

to mount guard when in the due routine of duty

he was regularly warned; nor is he less surprised

at the want of discretion in those who urged his

opposition to the faithful discharge of his duty…”

July 14, 1804, Richardson County, NB, Clark:

“…REUBEN FIELDS, who was in charge of the

horses etc. on shore, did not join us last night…

REUBEN FIELDS and Goodrich joined the Party

tonight…”

September 23, 1804, Hughes County, SD, Clark:

“…passed a creek on the south side, 16 yards

wide. We call it Reuben’s Creek as REUBEN

FIELDS found it…”

In the museum’s Expedition

Room, William Clark’s visit

to the Livingston area is well

represented. One can view

artifacts, maps, descriptions

of animal and plant life, rock

specimens and even sit in a

dugout canoe made by

Churchill Clark, William

Clark’s 4th great-grandson.

The museum’s permanent

exhibits include Native Cul-

tures, Pioneers, and

Transportation. Their

outdoor exhibit area con-

tains a blacksmith’s shop,

a one-room schoolhouse

and a fleet of transporta-

tion vehicles and farm

machinery.

Don’t forget to bring

your National Park Ser-

vice passport book along

and get a passport can-

cellation stamp during

your visit to the Yellow-

stone Gateway Museum.

It’s on the Lewis and

Clark National Historic

Trail!

Before leaving Living-

ston, stop at Sacajawea

Park along the Yellow-

stone River to experience the same expansive views that Wil-

liam Clark described in his 1806 journal during his return jour-

ney heading east.

For those interested in railroading and Yellowstone National

Park history, the displays at the Livingston Depot Center are

outstanding. The Depot is housed in a restored 1902 Northern

Pacific Railroad station.

Just three miles from the

turn off at Three Forks

(Exit 278) is the Missouri

Headwaters State Park.

The confluence of the Mad-

ison, Jefferson and Gallatin

rivers form the official start

of the Missouri River. This

was the 1805 encampment

of the Lewis and Clark Ex-

pedition while they scouted

the three forks of the

Missouri River on their

westward journey, con-

templating which way to

proceed. The park offers

views from the river’s

edge or from bluffs

above. One can quickly

drive between different viewing

locations or take well-marked trails.

There is plenty of parking as well as

interpretive signs at each site.

The park offers paved paths and

picnic areas that are accessible to all.

June 19,1805, Great Falls, MT, Lewis: “…I dispatched George

Drouillard, REUBEN FIELDS and George Shannon on the north side

of the Missouri with orders to proceed to the entrance of Medicine

River and endeavor to kill some elk in that neighborhood…”

August 1, 1805, Madison County, MT, Lewis: “…came to a large

creek which we Called Field’s Creek after REUBEN FIELDS, one of

our party…”

February 6, 1806, Ft. Clatsop, OR, Lewis: “Sent SSgts. Gass and Ord-

way this morning with REUBEN FIELDS and a party of men to bring

in the Elk Which FIELD had killed…”

March 10, 1806, Ft. Clatsop, OR, Clark: “…The hunters, John

Shields, REUBEN FIELDS and Robert Frazer, who were over the

Netul River the other day informed us that they measured a tree of the

fir species as high as a man could reach, was 39 feet in the girth; it

tapered but very little for about 200 feet without any considerable

limbs, and that it was very lofty above the commencement of the

limbs…I think it might safely be estimated at 300 feet…”

April 16, 1806, “Fort Rock” camp, The Dalles, Wasco County, OR,

Lewis: “…REUBEN FIELDS returned in the evening and brought

with him a large grey squirrel and two others of a kind I had never

before seen…”

June 8, 1806, Camp Chopunnish, ID, Lewis: “…several foot races

were run this evening between the Indians and our men. The Indians

are very active; one of them proved as fleet as our best runners,

Drouillard and REUBEN FIELDS, our swiftest runners…by way of

exercise which we wish the men to take previous to entering the

mountain; in short, those who are not hunters have had so little to do

that they are getting rather lazy and slothful…”

July 25, 1806, Junction of Cut Bank Creek & Two Medicine River,

MT, Lewis: “…I remained in camp with REUBEN FIELDS to avail

myself of every opportunity to make my observations should any of-

fer, but it continued to rain and I did not see the sun through the whole

course of the day. REUBEN FIELDS and myself killed nine pigeons

which lit in the trees near our camp. On these we dined…”

September 7, 1806, near Blair, NB, Clark: “As we were doubtful that

the two FIELDSES were behind, I directed Sgt. Ordway with 4 men to

continue until Meridian and if those men did not arrive by that hour to

proceed on. If we met with them at any short distance a gun should be

fired which would be a signal for him (Ordway) to proceed on. We

had proceeded on about 8 miles by water and the distance through not

more than 1 mile when we saw the fire of those 2 men (the

FIELDSES). I directed a gun fired as a signal for Sgt. Ordway to

proceed on and took the boys on board. They had killed nothing and

informed me they had been somewhat alarmed at our delay…”

For those who would like to linger,

the park is open 24 hours a day, has

camping and a summer speaker series. To see an early settler’s

hotel, walk over to the Gallatin City Hotel, an 1868 log struc-

ture located near the park entrance. (See below)

As a part of your Montana travels to discover sites along the

Lewis and Clark Historic Trail, be sure to include Livingston

and the headwaters of the Missouri at Three Forks. It takes

less than an hour to drive between the two locations- they’re

only 56 miles apart. It makes for a great day of exploring in

Big Sky country.

President’s Message

By: Jim Rosenberger

Let me start by apologizing to those of

you who had hoped to attend our annu-

al “bison bash” picnic. There is a lot of

activity and work in running a bison

ranch and we just plain ran into diffi-

culties in coordinating and scheduling a

date and were put in a position of hav-

ing to call the picnic off for this year. We will try to do better

for 2020.

I am happy to report that the 51st annual meeting of the Lewis

and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation which took place in St.

Louis, MO September 21 through 25 was a great success. The

attendance was at around 200 people and it appeared to me that

everyone had a great time. I am happy to report that we had 10

Badger State members in attendance. The meeting was hosted

by the Missouri Historical Society and they not only did a mar-

velous job of touring us through their Museum and Library/

Research Center but also provided tours to Lewis and Clark

sites including a river cruise from the Gateway Arch to the

confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. We also

toured the new museum at the Gateway Arch which is a must

see. It has an excellent display on Lewis and Clark as well as

the history of the western migration. No, I did not take the

option to ride to the top of the Arch. We were given a map of

the St. Louis area around the Arch and it included the location

of the house where William Clark died, where his Indian Mu-

seum was located and where the McNair House had been; the

home of William and Julia Clark and, for a short time, Meri-

wether Lewis. I just had to see these locations and time just

plain ran out. I had been to the top of the Arch a number of

years ago, so the decision was made.

The Historical Society provided excellent speakers and we also

had fun entertainment such as a Lewis and Clark trivia game

and watching the Lewis and Clark movie “Far Horizons” with

historical comment by members of the audience.

The actual business meeting for the Foundation was very brief.

We were told that a more complete fiscal year 2018-2019 An-

nual Report will be provided to each member in the February

2020 issue of “We Proceeded On”. Some interesting items

were discussed in the business meeting and the chapter officers

meeting. Of course, there was a lot of talk about the extension

of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail with the addi-

tion of the 1,200 miles of the Eastern Legacy. The Foundation

will now be involved with Chapters, the National Park Service

and other entities to promote and maintain a much larger Trail.

You may recall that this was an election year for officers of the

Foundation and I am happy to report that Badger State Chapter

Member and Life Time Foundation member Collette Sorgel

has been elected to the Foundation board of directors. I think

that Collette’s talents and energy will be a terrific addition to

the board. Congratulations, Collette.

An interesting discussion took place relative to knowing what

the Foundation has accomplished in the last 50 years and now

our challenge is what are our goals for the next 50 years and

how do we accomplish them. Of course, there was discussion

relative to the number of Foundation members we have. How

can we grow our membership? How do we create interest in

Lewis and Clark history and in the Lewis and Clark Trail Her-

itage Foundation? Our current membership continues to age,

how do we reach younger generations? There seemed to be an

interest in more partnering with other organizations such as the

National Park Service, other trail organizations and history

organizations. Also to promote, create and support Lewis and

Clark events or activities to attract people and thereby draw

them into the Foundation, Chapters, etc. Time will tell what

will result from the ideas and discussions.

There was also discussion relative to if a change in the struc-

ture of our chapters would benefit the growth in the Founda-

tion. During the Bicentennial years the Foundation was com-

prised of around 40 chapters and today

we have 27 active chapters. There are (Continued-page 4)

areas such as the southern border of

the U.S. from Florida to Texas to Ari-

zona, where we had chapters but they no longer exist. Could

we form one large regional chapter to include all these states

and reactivate the interest in Lewis and Clark history? Closer

to home, if we created one large chapter for Wisconsin, Illi-

nois, Michigan, and Minnesota could this benefit the growth

and activity in these states for Lewis and Clark history and for

the Foundation?

Another point of discussion was to have all membership dues

flow through the Foundation. In other words, the Foundation

would collect all Foundation dues as well as all chapter dues

and then send the chapter dues to the chapters.

I emphasize these were all items that came up in brief discus-

sions on how the Foundation might grow and how we might

improve our operation. The primary idea was where we want

to be 50 years from now and how do we get there. There will

be more discussion and ideas, and your input would be very

welcome.

And lastly, the 2020 Foundation annual meeting will be in

Charlottesville, VA August 2 - 5 and the 2021 meeting will be

in Missoula, MT October 9 - 13.

Please plan to attend our November 2nd chapter meeting in

Oconomowoc, WI.

A Chance Encounter

with Bud Clark By: Mary Strauss

This past week I attended the

51st annual meeting of the Lew-

is and Clark Heritage Trail

Foundation. I had the unique

opportunity to have a private

conversation with Bud Clark, a

many-time grandson of the

Corps of Discovery leader Wil-

liam Clark.

He was doing the reenact-

ing of the role of Captain

Clark and was in his tent

surrounded by his treasures

he has collected over the

years replicating the

Corp‘s belongings. I asked

him about them.

Bud said he had an oppor-

tunity back in 1996 when

he was selling antique guns

at a show in Las Vegas. A

man came up to him hold-

ing a peace medal. As Bud

handled it, he realized it

was authentic and asked him what he wanted for it. After look-

ing at all the guns he had ready to sell he was a little bit hesi-

tant to make the deal and the man left his booth.

The guy went to another dealer and it got snapped up right

away. Now Bud said he was suffering from a sinus infection

that day and just wasn’t using his good common sense. He

regrets not making the deal because in the last 40 years of col-

lecting, that was the only Peace medal offered his way. That

day 23 years ago, it sold for $24,000 and today Bud says they

go for $150,000.

Had he been feeling top notch that day he said: “I never

would’ve passed on the deal”. Ahh, hindsight. There are so

many things we wish we could do over, including Bud Clark.

IN REMEMBERANCE OF…

With this issue of “Field Notes” we close our pub-lished celebration of the Badger State Chapter’s 20th anniversary. Without dedicated members our chap-ter would not have been able to accomplish the things we have, in telling the story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. During these past years our members became a closely knit group just like the Corps of Discovery. Unfortunately, over time, some of our members were called upon by a higher power to leave us for a greater calling and we miss them very much. While we had to proceed on, it is only proper that we recognize and honor those who shared the Lewis and Clark story with us and made our time together so much more enjoyable. Follow-ing is a list of members with the date they passed, as it appeared in previous issues of “Field Notes.”

John Pollock; charter member. Dates not available

Norma Kolthoff; November 11, 2011. Field Notes, January 2012.

Lewis and Clark Through Indian Eyes By: Mary Rosenberger

On Tuesday, September 24th, members of the LCTHF were

treated to a presentation at this year’s annual meeting entitled

“Lewis and Clark Through Indian Eyes” by Roberta “Bobbie”

Conner, director of the Tamastslikt Cultural Institute, Sammye

Meadows, author and editor, and Robert Miller, a professor at

the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State

University.

The program centered on the Native American viewpoint of the

Lewis and Clark Expedition and the Bicentennial commemora-

tion. Ms. Conner served as Vice President of the National

Council of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial and spoke about

portraying the cultural awareness of the various tribes involved

during the expedition, as well as the current status of the tribes.

She spoke passionately about the need of preserving and re-

specting the sacred places of the Indian people, protecting their

history and culture, their languages, and the acknowledgment

that “We’re still here”.

Sammye Meadows worked on the Grand Canyon National Park

Inter-tribal Advisory Council aiding in making the Desert View

and Watchtower area into an inter-tribal cultural heritage site.

Her beautiful slides of the area showcased a pristine area of our

country and the need to preserve it for the future.

Professor Robert Miller’s presentation revolved around the

elements of International law of discovery and the Lewis and

Clark Expedition. It was an exciting presentation illustrating

the forethought of Jefferson in claiming the Oregon Country

for future expansion. The use of tribal messaging (“Jefferson is

your new father”), and sovereignty tokens (peace medals, U.S.

flags, military uniforms), building of forts (Fort Mandan &

Clatsop) and the use of the Lewis Branding Iron were physical

examples of Jefferson’s intent to claim the Pacific Northwest

as U.S. territories. Mr. Miller’s 2006 first book, Native Ameri-

ca, Discovered and Conquered: Thomas Jefferson, Lewis &

Clark, and Manifest Destiny, may be on this year’s Christmas

book list.

In all, it was an excellent presentation thanks to the Missouri

Historical Society.

Anniversaries Everywhere-Part 4

This is it, the final edition of the column celebrating the 20th

anniversary of the Badger State Chapter of the Lewis and Clark

Trail Heritage Foundation. Let's see what anniversaries we can

celebrate along with our own.

In the April 2019 issue of “Field Notes” we told you when

Tennessee passed the 19th amendment it became a part of our

constitution and gave women the right to vote. Did you know

that 6 days after the U.S. Senate passed the Amendment Wis-

consin was the first state to ratify the Woman Suffrage Amend-

ment? Not only that, but Wisconsin Women played an im-

portant part in the Woman Suffrage Movement. In a time peri-

od of approximately 5 years, Carrie Cart of Ripon, WI led up

to 2 million women in lobbying efforts to pass the 19th Amend-

ment. Belle La Follette of Summit, WI spoke throughout the

United States on behalf of women’s suffrage, testified before

Senate Committee hearings, and wrote many columns on the

subject.

In 1919 Wladzin Valentino Liberace was born in West Allis,

WI. Yes, he became famously known as Liberace and his tal-

ented piano playing as well as his glitzy wardrobe, and trade-

mark candelabra. He appeared as a soloist with the Chicago

Symphony at the age of 14; in 1952 he became a hit with his

own television show and over the course of his career he re-

ceived 6 Emmys, 6 gold record albums, 2 stars on the Holly-

wood Walk of Fame and sold out 56 shows at Radio City Mu-

sic Hall, just a few months before his death in 1987.

August 8, 1969 was the date the cover photograph for the Beat-

les record album “Abbey Road” was taken. This picture shows

the four band members crossing Abbey Road in a single file

outside EMI Records where they made the 1969 record. The

picture has become one of the most famous and favorites of the

Beatles. The 50th anniversary of the photo was celebrated at

the Abbey Road location by hundreds of people.

On January 30, 1969 the rock band The Beatles held their final

public performance. It was a surprise performance on the roof

of the headquarters of the band’s multimedia corporation Ap-

ple Corps. They played a 42 minute set before police asked

them to turn down the sound.

At the end of World War II Germany and the city of Berlin

were divided up between the allied victors. Russia began a

blockade of the railroad, road and water access to Berlin on

June 24, 1948 in an attempt to control the entire city. The

Western Allies organized the Berlin Airlift which began to

bring supplies into Berlin on June 26, 1948. It was successful

and Russia lifted the blockade. May 12, 1919 celebrates the

70th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift.

June 4, 2019 marked the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen

Square demonstrations in Beijing, China. Demonstrations start-

ed on April 15, 1989 and were conducted in 400 cities through-

out China with a goal of democratic reforms. On June 4, 1989

Communist leaders ordered the military to retake Tiananmen

Square from student-led protesters. Today, commemorations

of the historic event are strictly banned (Continued-page 6)

souri Historical Society) and Sammye Meadows.

in mainland China but the Hong

Kong Administrative Region of

the People’s Republic of China, with over 7.4 million people,

does honor the anniversary with marches.

Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison but on May10, 1994

he was elected President of South Africa. 2019 marks the 25

anniversary of his election to that office.

January 14, 2019 marks the 235th anniversary (1784) of the

Continental Congress ratifying the Treaty of Paris ending the

Revolutionary War.

On June 1, 1779, 240 years ago, the court-martial of Benedict

Arnold took place during the Revolutionary War.

On October 20, 1803, 215 years ago, the ratification of the

Louisiana Purchase took place.

July 11th marks 215 (1804) years since the dual between Alex-

ander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Hamilton was killed in the

dual.

It will be the 80th anniversary of when Franklin D. Roosevelt

laid the cornerstone for the Thomas Jefferson Memorial on

November 15, 1939.

We hope you enjoyed the anniversary column and thanks to all

who sent in anniversary items to share.

Seaman Says-October 2019

We continue with the post-expedition journals of Seaman, recently discovered in the minds and cre-

ative thoughts of the publishers of “Field Notes”

May 22, 1808: Governor Lewis and I have somewhat settled into living in St. Louis. We have to

adjust to the changes which have taken place since our last stay here. The town is growing. More

humans have arrived and more buildings are in place. There are more different types of humans

here now than when we were last here. Mostly we see the men who take the boats up the river they

refer to as the Mississippi and also those who talk about our river, the Missouri. They bring supplies to the fur traders and

then bring the furs back to St. Louis.

There are the “Voyageurs” who catch the beaver and supply the furs. They seem to be a happy group of men, often drinking

and then dancing in the streets. More Indians are in St. Louis now, trading their furs for various items they need. Some of

these people we have visited. Hunters, dressed in animal skins and carrying rifles and knives, stroll the streets. The town is

much busier than when we were last here.

Upon our arrival the most important mission for us was to find a place to live. Governor Lewis and Captain Clark have

agreed they would live together once the Captain returned to St. Louis with his wife. The Governor has found a house but I

question if this arrangement will succeed. Even in my species a male and mate do not need guests living with them. If the

Captains mate does not take to me I may be out on the streets. At any rate, the Governor looked at many houses and has se-

lected one for us all to live in. We will await the Captain’s arrival with his mate and see what develops.

Our next business of some priority was to meet with a man by the name of Frederick Bates. As Governor Lewis explained,

this Bates man has been doing the work of my Governor until we arrived. I am not clear as to what this work is but am sure I

will become acquainted with it in due time. At any rate, we met with this Bates fellow and I am not impressed. At first he

seemed very nervous as he spoke to the Governor, then he changed to speaking in an almost angry way and finally spoke as if

he was giving orders to the Governor. At one point Bates approached Governor Lewis as if he were going to physically attack

him which caused me to jump between the two men, show my teeth and growl. Governor Lewis told me to stop, which I did,

but my movement did cause this Bates man to step back. I do not feel comfortable with this man and will be watching him

closely.

And so, we have found a place to live and Governor Lewis has started to work as the leader of the people of this area. But we

have also enjoyed ourselves. Upon our arrival in St. Louis we did receive a hearty welcome. Again there were nightly parties

at various locations celebrating our arrival and as always, the successful completion of our expedition. I think the Governor

enjoyed being back with all the friends he has made here in St. Louis and partying with them. However, I

do give him a slight tug on his pant leg when the evening is getting a bit too long and the drinks to many,

especially when tomorrow is a work day.

I have also met up with friends, both male and female, which I have previously made here in St. Louis. As

time and opportunity permit, we explore the city and very much enjoy being together again.
