- N the 9th day of February,
1910, Colonel George Rogers

Kaskaskia river and camped.
This was the first step i'll his march

1t was an army, small indeed, but

Clark knew when he set out on his

enterprise was one. that called for all

himself and from his followers the last
refinement of devotion to purpose.
There was certainty, from first to
last, that effort would not flag at any
point short of the topmost possible
strain.
The march before them lay over a
magnificent plain, mostly prairie, rich
as the delta of the Nile, but extremely
difficult to traverse. The distance, as
the route led, was about ITO miles. On
account of an open and rainy winter
nil the basins and fat lands were i'll

water ranging in depth from few
