Context: John C. Frémont (January 21, 1813July 13, 1890) was a 19th Century American explorer of the West during the 1840s and 1850s, popularly known as the "Pathfinder".  His first two published expeditions launched a mass emigration into the American West producing maps and reliable reports for settlers to read and follow.  In the process of botanical nomenclature ("plant naming"), Frémont received many eponyms in his honor and for his work as a botanist.  His genus name eponym is "Fremontodendron", while his species eponym is "fremontii".  Frémont went on a total of five expeditions; the first three were federally sponsored while Frémont served as a military officer.  On these expeditions he was guided by mountain man Kit Carson.  Frémont's fourth and fifth expeditions were privately sponsored.  Although Frémont's life was controversial, he was considered an American hero.  Frémont's published works, co-authored by his wife Jessie, could either be read scientifically or as adventure stories, capturing the public's attention, and creating enthusiasm for Westward migration.

Setting out from Fort Crevecoeur in present-day Illinois on none }} , the trio were briefly captured by a band of Santee Sioux on none }} near Mille Lacs Lake in present-day Minnesota.  During their captivity, they were escorted to such memorable Minnesotan landmarks such as Saint Anthony Falls, Lake Pepin, and Kaposia, in the process becoming the first Europeans to do so.

The Windust Caves are a series of nine caves that have been eroded into the side of a basalt cliff on the north side of the lower Snake River.  The caves were excavated from 1959 until 1961 by a crew led by Harvey S. Rice.  Some of the caves had been disturbed, though also somewhat preserved from looting by collectors, by rock falling off the roofs of the caves during construction of the Northern Pacific Railway.  Other caves were damaged by collectors.  In 1961, upon completion of the Ice Harbor Lock and Dam, the caves were flooded by the reservoir known as Lake Sacajawea.
