Extract from "a letter from a gentleman at St. Charles, to a gentleman
in this town, dated 23d September, 1806," in the Frankfort (Ky.)
Palladium for October 9, 1806:[3]
I have the pleasure to inform you of the arrival of Captains Lewis and Clark.
They were the first white people that ever visited that country. By the best
accounts they could get there are about ninety or one hundred thousand inhabitants,
(Indians) on the west side of the Rocky mountains; horses without number.
It Is thought to be a very poor Indian that did not own 300 horses. Not
an iron tool among them.—They erected a fort on the sea shore and engraved
their names. They have a number of curiosities; among which is a wild sheep;
its head and horns weigh about 80 or 90 pounds. He was caught on the Rocky
Mountains.
This was copied in the Washington National Intelligencer, November 3, 1806,
with words "this town" changed to "Washington City." From the Intelligencer it
was copied in Poulson's American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia, November 7; in the
Vermont Centinel, Burlington, November 20; and in the Connecticut Courant, Hartford,
November 19. The heading in the latter was "More Wonders. Rocky Mountain
Sheep beats the horned frog all hollow."—Ed.
