 | 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.
