July 26 - 27, 2008:
"Annual Lewis & Clark White Catfish Camp Living History Weekend" at the
Western Historic Trails Center, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
White Catfish Camp has its roots in July 1804 when Lewis
and Clark's Corps of Discovery made camp near present-day Council
Bluffs. The five-day stop was an opportunity to repair equipment and
make astronomical observations. On July 24, 1804, one of the members of
the Corps of Discovery,
Silas Goodrich, caught an albino catfish, giving the camp its
name. |
