	The ORIGINAL JOURNAL OF Sergeant CHARLES FLOYD1 1The original of Floyd's Journal is the property of the Wisconsin Historical Society—its press-mark being, M6. It is contained in a weather-beaten blank book, bound in marble boards, now much faded. The writing is upon fifty-three pages, each 5 ⅞ × 7 ½ inches in size, and runs in coarse hand the length of the page; in addition to these pages, there are entries upon the inside covers and upon fly-leaves. The greater part was written by Floyd, but there are also entries by Clark and another person whose hand the Editor does not recognize. These entries are indicated by us, as they appear. See also vol. i, pp. liv, lv, ante. For facility in comparison, we have divided the journal into two chapters, according with the corresponding divisions in the journals of Lewis and Clark.—Ed.

Words between bracketed asterisks are, as previously stated, in Clark's handwriting;
those between bracketed daggers are in another hand, which we fail to
identify.—Ed.
