On This Day

September 4

Almost exactly two years to the day after they first entered what would become the state of South Dakota, the Lewis and Clark expedition re-entered the state on their return trip to St. Louis. While going out, the explorers took 54 days to traverse the Missouri River portion in South Dakota, but they spent just two weeks on the return trip, passing the Big Sioux and out of South Dakota forever on this date in 1806. The South Dakota portion of their journey included a visit to Spirit Mound north of Vermillion, encounters with various Indian bands, and the 12 days Private George Shannon went missing. There is also some debate that Sacajawea, young Indian maiden who aided Lewis and Clark, is buried in northern South Dakota. But, unlike much of the well-documented journey, this aspect is still a mystery.
