WiTtt: LEWIS AND CLARK
MONUMENT TO SERGEANT FtOJTD,
AT SIOUX CITY, IA.
He'TVe the Only Member of the
rarty That Died Daring: the
Great Expedition
On a hlgii bluff overlooking the
Missouri River at Sioux City, la.,
Is a monument 100 feet high, mark
ing the last resting place o Sergeant
Charles Floyd, the only member of the
Lewis and Clark party that died In the
iamous expedition across the continent.
Sergeant Floyd died near Sioux City
August 20, 1804, 99 days after the expedi
tion left a point Bear St. JLouls for the
mouth of the Columbia. The monument
wm dedicated May 30. Dr. James Butler,
of Madison, Wis., who discovered Floyd's
Journal In 1S93, and Dr. S. P. Yeomans,
of Marshalltown, la., one of the men who
rescued Floyd's body from the hungry
Missouri- In 1S57, were among those who
attended the dedication ceremony.
Charles Floyd joined the expedition at
St. Louis in 1803. The members of the
party camped in the vicinity of St. Lrouls
lor a few months, and on May 14, 1S04,4
started on their long journey up the Mis
souri, which was to take them across the
continent to the Pacific Ocean by a
circuitous route. From records of the
Journey it is gathered that Sergeant
Floyd was highly thought of by those
who were associated with him in the en
terprise. On August 20, 1804, at a point a short
distance below where Sioux City now
stands, Floyd died. His remains were
buried at the top of a bluff half a mile
below the stream that now bears his
name. Floyd River. In all probability he
was the first citizen soldier of the United
States burled west of the Mississippi Rlv
er. The records of the expedition state
that he was buried with military honors,
and that his grave was marked with a
cedar post. The exploring party proceed
ed up the river. On its return it visited
the grave and found that it had been
disturbed, either by Indians or wolves.
The members filled up the grave again,
and continued on their way to St Louis.
Floyd's remains lay in their first grave
lor more than half a century until 1857,
until it was discovered that, as a result
of the falling away of the bluff there was
danger of the coffin and the remains
falling Into the Missouri River. Pioneer
settlers of Sioux City visited the place
on May 2S, 1837, and rescued the remains
from their perilous position. They were
Telnterred on another bluff not far away,
and it was generally understood at that
time that a fitting shaft should be erected
In time. In the excitement of the found
ing and growth of as typical a "Western
city as Sioux City, however, sentiment
cut but little figure, and the explorer's
grave was neglected.
Though the grave was neglected. It was
not forgotten, and on August 20, 1895,
services were held on its site, and the
Floyd Memorial Association was organ
ized. A number of prominent persons have
Identified themselves with the society.
The officers are: John H. Charles, of
Sioux City, president; Mrs. Frances N.
3avls, of Sioux City secretary; D. A.
Magee, of Sioux City, treasurer. In addi
tion to these are the following vice-president
: "Judge George W. Wakefield, Sioux
City; ex - Congressman George D.
3erlcins, of Sioux City; ex -Mayor
Maris Peirce, Sioux City; J. N.
Field, Manchester, England; Portus
3. Weare, Chicago; It. C A. Flournoy,
Sioux City; Horace G. Burt, president of
the Union Pacific Railroad, Omaha; Mar
Tin Hughltt, president of the Northwestrn
Railroad, Chicago; George F. Bidwell,
Omaha; Professor J. D. Butler, of the
State University of Wisconsin, Madison,
Wis.; Charles Aldrich. of the Historical
"Department of Iowa; Mrs. Elliott Coues,
Washington, D. C; H. D. Clark, New
Hay en. Conn.; Dr. S .P. Yeomans, .Mar
shalltown, la.
During the last five or six years the
Floyd Memorial Association has held me
morial exercises on each anniversary of
Floyd's death, and has never relaxed its
efforts toward the erection of a monu
ment in memory of the explorer. The
monument is now completed, and is a
magnificent piece of work. It is made of
Kettle River sandstone, and is 100 feet
and 3 inches in height The cost was
about $20,000. The United 8tates Govern
ent gave $5000, and the State of Iowa gave
$5000. The City of Sioux City gave about
$1600, and other donations to the fund
were made. The monument stands on a
high bluff overlooking the great Missouri
River, from which point one can look over
the vast prairies of three states Iowa,
Nebraska and South Dakota.
,$OXAKCE OF FLOYD'S JOURNAL.
Dr.
Junes D. Bntler Tells How
Wa Fonnd.
it
At the dedication ceremony Dr. James
D. Butler, the founder and owner of
Floyd's Journal, gave the following ac
count of Its discovery:
"What is this which I hold up before
your gare as a sort of secular ostensor
ium? It Is the monument which Sergeant
Floyd bullded wiser than he knew Oh,
iow much wiser than the world knew
built for himself and which shall outlast
all memorial stones. The forms of mind
are not Idola of the clay. Thanks to their
handmaids, alphabetical writing and the
typograpnic 'art preservative,' they are
eternal. The llnfts nf this book have .gone
out through all the earth, and Its words
unto the ends of the world. But the obe
lisk on yonder bluff must stand station
ary till It shall crumble -Into the sand
from which It was conglomerated. Stones
must perish, but .this chronicle shall en
dure. "What does this manuscript contain?
It shows up fifty-three pages of Floyd's
notes, by the way In Mis own handwriting
up to the scene of his death, detailing the
first nlne-slx days of the earliest and most
important American explorations of the
trans-Missouri world the most veritable
discovery of America that was ever
achieved. It Is the only' testimony by a
sharer In that enterprise which has thus
far been printed In the very words of Its
writer. The journals of Captains Lewis
and Clark not only came tardily from
the press, but they were Bowdlelzer, Bld
dlelzed and Allenlzed, and this garbled
text was reproduced, most unwillingly,
by Dr. Coues. The dream of his life, as
he assured me, was to edit the original
codices, with not a stripe erased and not
a star obscured. But his fate was to die
without tasting that crowning joy.
"The journal of Patrick G8ss, who at
Floyd's grave had been chosen Sergeant
in his stead, was printed seven years ear
lier than the official report It saw the
light the next Spring after the glorious
return, but it had been already licked
Into shape, like a bear's cub, by the Jrlsh
schoolmaster McKeehan, and the manu
script thrown away as useless rubbish.
If the text of Gass could now be read as
he wrote It we could not enough prize it
as a complement and supplement to Lewis
and Clark and Floyd, a sort of a fourth
gospeL Floyd'o legacy neither revealed,
nor imagined to exist at all until since
the most recent editions of Gass, as well
as of Lewis and Clark, is more than a
fourth gospel; it is more than'eny of them
a first gospel, the protevangelion. So It
must remain till the original of the Cap
tains shall be printed, as Dr. Coues de
clared It was sure to be by the National
Government.
"Is there any cloud of doubt on Che
genuineness or veracity of this gospel?
Not a snadow of it Handwriting, spell
ing, words, things noted are beyond coun
terfeiting. Then, undesigned coincidence,
and differences in relation to the other
witnesses testify to Its reliability as con
clusively as Paley's Horace Paullnae did
to the New Testament as a history.

seemed ungracious to suggest that such

The Floyd monument.
Dr. S. P. Tcomani, tvho rescued Dr. James D. tfntler, vrho discovered
Floyd'a remains from th.p Missouri. Floyd's. Journal. .
The monument which has been built at 8loux City, la., to mark the last resting place
of Sergeant Floyd, of the. Lewis and Clark expedition, cost nearly $20,000. It is a solid ma
sonry obelisk, built in the most subsutlal manner in careful conformity with the propor
tions of the ancient Egyptian models. The stone used Is the Kettle River sandstone, of Min
nesota, well known as one of the beet building stones in the United States. The work on
the monument is throughout of high grade, and nothing has .been omitted which, was con
sidered essential to its appearance and permanence. The helght'of the shaft Is a trifle over
100 feet above its base, which la. 125 feet above standard low water In the Missouri River.
Its dimensions are such that It possesses a- factor of safety of -three against overturning
with a wind pressure of 40 pounds per square foot simultaneously develpped over an entire
face. The foundation Is a solid monolith of the best concrete that can be made, and
weighs 278 tons. Its bearing surface upon the ground beneath la 484 square feet. The
total pressure upon this bed Is 844 tons, or one and .three-fourth tons per square foot and
it has so far failed to produce any appreciable settlement. The actual construction of the
monument was a matter of Just about one year's work. The foundation was laid May
29, 1000: the corner-stone August 20, 1000; the capstone April 22, 1901, and the completed
work was dedicated May 30, 1001.
Sergeant I also stated that the letter
from which I learned this fact, though
printed in the American Archives (Indian
Affairs I., p. 706), in Blddle and else
where, would be sought in vain through
out the four octavos of Coues.''
"That Sergeant's Journal, an independ
entf witness from the Upper Missouri, 1
hop'o to satisfy you was the book I now
hold In my hand, though In my review
I credited It to no author whatever. The
words of Le.wls In his letter' to the Presi
dent, dated Fort Mandan, near Bismarck,
April 7, 1S05, were these: 'I have sent a
journal kept Ty one of the Sergeants to
Captain Stoddard, my agent In St. Louis,
in order to multiply as much as possible
the chances of saving something.' It
seems to me clear that that Sergeant was
Floyd. The omission of his name is not
surprising. Lewis had never mentioned
in his notes till the time of Floyd's death,
nor yet the names of any other Ser
geants up to that date, unless when one
was on detached service. It was not ex
pedient to send down the journals of liv
ing Sergeants, for they were not yet half
made and there was no more paper with
in a thousand miles.
"For securing Clark's and his own jour
nal Lewis hadjbeen furnished by Jefferson
with tin case? In which he was to solder
them one by one, water tight. But these
cases could not safeguard Floyd's jour
nal, for their width was five Inches, while
this book measures six. ' Its size urged
Lewis to hurry it out of harm's way with
all speed. I charged Dr. Coues with
heresy, for he had maintained that the
journals of the Captains must be copies,
because their field notes could not be so
well preserved as he saw their writing to
be, but must have been water soaked
and weather stained. But when he heard
of the tin boxes which fitted them like a
glove he was no longer heretical.
"The love of Lewis for Floyd would
prompt him to forward his journal to
home friends "as soon as he could. His
affection Is manifest In his testimonial as
soon as he arrived in Washington. He
thus spoke to the authorities: 'Charles
Floyd,' said he, 'was a young man of
much merit His father, now living In
Kentucky, is a man much respected, but
possessed of moderate wealth. - As the. son
lost his life In this service I consider his
father entitled to some gratuity In con
sideration of his loss, and also that the
deceased, being noticed in this way, will
be a tribute but Justly due his merit'
(Am. Archives. Military Ar. L, p. 207.)
"Clark was still more sure than Lewis
to speed this volume homeward without
delay. The dying words of Floyd were ad
dressed to Clark, and they were these:
'I am going to leave you, and I want
you to write me a letter.' Whether Clark
could or could not write to Floyd's home
friends, he could give convoy to this
book, with a letter he did write to his
brother-in-law, and which came to our
library together with this book. At least
he must have brought this book to
Floyd's father, with a certain other relic
of his son, which cost him much to se
cure. Floyd's Tomnhntrk.
"More than a year after Floyd's death,
at the point where the Westward bound
adventurers first found the Columbia nav
igable, the tomahawk of Sergeant Floyd
was missed and supposed to be stolen,
but as their business demanded haste they
could do nothing for regaining It. Next
year, however, on returning to the same
camp they ascertained that the toma
hawk was In the possession of Indians on
a neighboring river, 'This weapon,' says
the Blddle compilation, 'we were anxious
to obtain In order to give to the relatives
of our unfortunate companion. Sergeant
Floyd.' The original narrative, as 1
learned from the secretary of the Philoso
phical Society who holds It In custody,
specifies Captain Clark -Instead of 'we'
as desirous or returning it to uioyas
friends. It adds The man who had this
tomahawk had purchased It from the
thief and was himself just expiring when
our envoy, Drewyer, arrived. His rela
tives were the more unwilling to give up
the tomahawk because they intended to
bury it with Its owner. They were at
length Induced to surrender It on the sec
ond day, through the influence of two
chiefs who hnd accompanied Drewyer,
and In consideration of a handkerchief
and two strands of beads which had been
sent by Captain Clark, and two horses
given by the chiefs to be killed agreeable
to the custom. at the grave of the de
ceased. At this bargain it would seem
that the horses were "thrown In," for
five beads was the price of a horse.'
The Discovery.
"These beads and the handkerchief rep
resented a serious sacrifice on the part
of a Captain, all of whose goods for sup
plying his 30 comrades with food and
transportation for 2000 miles might as he,
writes, be tied up in a pair of handker
chiefs. "Who Will believe that Clark. -who was
J so caretuliand troutIedal?out. Floyd's
hatchet "neglected the earliest possible
opportunity of hastening this journal of
the "dead son to his mourning father,
whose home, in the judgment of Colonel
R, T. Durrett the highest Kentucky his
torical authority, was near that of Clark's
sister tn whom he was himself sending
various' seeds? But the only question af
ter all Is whether this writing was brought
down the river in the return boat of 1805,
or in the boat ot the qaptalns themselves
in 1806. It was in St. Louis, perhaps Ken
tucky, in the Spring of one year or the
Fall of the next
"After Floyd's narrative had been
brought down the great river nothing pre
vious to 1893 had been discovered con
cerning that writing, nor had his name
been, mentioned as a possible journalist
Rut nn TTAhnmrv 3 nf"that vear. Mr.
Thwaltes, secretary of the Wisconsin His
torical Society, found this chlefest of finds
without seeking It. He was examining a
high pile of manuscripts, bound and un
bound, which had been accumulated by
Dr. Draper, his predecessor, during 14
years' of pilgrimage, largely up and down
Kentucky, in quest of historical docu
ments,. '
FLOYD AJ SIOUX. CITY.
"This book had been brought to Wiscon
sin by Draper, who in 1854 had become the
first secretary of the historical society,
and was Its real soul to the end of his
long career.' It was one sheaf of a har
vest so vast that his successor has not as
yet been able to thrash It all out It was
one jewel among such kohlnoors as have
made for themselves a fitting casket, cre
ated for their setting a more costly fire
proof than, so far as I can learn, has ever
been built for any society called historical
in all -the world.
"At first sight of this "book of books I
was amazed that Draper, who for a gen
eration had known me as a sharer In his
pursuits, and that I felt espe6lal Interest
in trans-Mlssourl, had, never Bpoken to
me about Floyd's Journal. Ills reticence
became less mysterious the more JL con- 1
sidered what manner of man my friend
Draper was. The eyes and the heart of a
miser are fixed far less on the savings he.
has already hoarded than on those out
side which he hopes for. Draper was a
colossal collector. His first savings were
laid out on a fireproof In which he stored
his accumulations. Everything rich and
rare In antiquarian eyes his llfework was
to imprison behind Its Iron door. What
ever he could hide there he made his will
bequeathing to the historical, society, and
then turned his back upon it with his eyes
set upon further conquests.
4 Notwithstanding his capacity
Received as the sea, naught entered there,
Of what validity and pitch so'er.
But fell Into abatement and low price,
Even In a minute.
"This little book I view as the acorn
from which an obelisk grander than any
oak has grown. No sooner was Its dis
covery noised abroad than the American
Antiquarian Society, the oldest in Amer
ica, and but 11 years younger than the.
century, invited me to address It at Its
next annual meeting In Boston, concerning
a document so full of sidelights on other
Journals, one never before thought of as
existing at all, so long hidden and so un
expectedly revealed. They printed the find
at once, every word of it verbatim e.t lit
eratim, both In their volume of proceed
ings and In separates.
"This publication. If not the creator of
your zeal, was at least the match which
kindled It into a blaze. It was straight
way followed by the Sioux City awaken
ing, by the study of Coues' monumental
work by shame that Floyd, though his
name on the river and his title on the
bluff were indelible, lay without a stone
to mark the spot, Indeed that no mortal
knew where he was burled. It was only
after much baffled and renewed endeavor
that his remains, so soon forgotten after
the reburlal of 1857, were detected six years
ago on this soldiers' memorial day. Then
and there was formed the association
which devised and constructed and now
dedicates the obelisk on the bluff.
"The FJoyd obelisk reminds me of two
others. The first In Egyptian Thebes, Is
one of the supreme wonders I have twice
voyaged far up the Nile to gaze upon. It
is confessedly the beau ideal of its class
in material, height and proportions. It is
reproduced here more strikingly than in
any other work I can call to mind. Spite
of earthquake and lightning, tyrants and
time. It has stood, wanting eight years, for
seven times 500 years. Can you wish any
thing more than an equal longevity for
the companion shaft we have this day ded
icated? Thirty-five centuries were a good
ly heritage.''

BLOCK PAVING GIVING OUT
DECAY, NOT WEAIVTHE CAUSE OF
THE BREAK-UP.
Washington-Street Property-Owners
Making: Pavement Repairs Bad
Shape- of Foturtk Street. ,
Property-owners on Washington street
evidently do not intend to permit wood
block pavement between First and Third;
to go to ruin, as- the block pavement
on Fourth street Is doing, without any
thing In the way of repair being done to
it Labbe Bros, and Judge Waldo have
had the pavement.ln front of their build
ings on the north side of Washington
street renewed, wherq necessary, covering
a strip along' the curb eight feet In width.
The "blocks Jn this strip were, badly de
cayed on account, It is said, of the sur
face being so level that water does not
drain .off readily While the repair work
was In-progress .scores of property-owners
interested In pavements stopped to
look at the decayed block and discuss
wood-block pavements from the first laid
in the city .on Front street, on boards
laid on the mud, down -to that laid on
Fourth street on concrete and some on
macadam, without slats between the
blocks, and that laid on concrete Tn Wasn
Ington street with slats between the rows
of blocks. John O'Neill, who was super
Intending thVrepalr, laid the wood-block
pavement on'Front street, and was able
to give allasorts of information on the
subject of wood-block paving In general.
The first pavement of wood blacks laid on
boards placed on the mud lasted much
longer than any laid since, but some 'prop
erty-owners say thai having once got
down a concrete foundation, they can af
ford to renew the wood blocks -every four
years, whlcH will give as good a street
and as cheap a one as- they have been
able to discover. Perhaps the property
owners on Fourth street may find this
view to be correct, and may conclude to
lay a new wood pavement there In the
place of "the one which Is now In the
last stages of decay. Placing slats be
tween the rows of blocks will reduce the
cost "a trifle, and perhaps by exercising
more care in the selection of the wood,
the blocks may be made to last a year
or two longer. It may be that making-
the blocks- shorter tvM -make them last
longer, as a patch of three-Inch blocks
set in the concrete on Third street, near
Yamhill, looks as if they were going to
outwear the longer blocks on other
streets. The wear on the paving blocks
amounta to practically nothing; it is de
cay which spoils the pavement.

except by moonlight, and even then he
stays In the middle of the road to keep
away from the shade of the trees. The
result i3 that the entire Island after sun
down, except In the portions where Euro

Arctic. Electric light Is doing something
to relieve the dread, but the fear Is so in

Refused to Dlnmiss Receiver.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 9. Judge
Gibson, In the Circuit Court, has refused
to dismiss Utley Wedge, receiver of the
Slegel - Sanders Livestock Commission
Company, whose removal was requested
by minor stockholders in the company.
Wedge was appointed a month ago on the
application of Frank Rockefeller, of
Cleveland, principal stockholder In the
company, and some of the other stock
holders alleged that the receiver favored
Rockefeller in adjusting the firm's af
fairs. Since the failure, President Slegel
has been arrested, charged with misap
plication of over $100,000. Rockefeller had
helped reorganize the firm, and on the
stand testified to having signed for Sleg
el's use In straightening out Its affairs
guarantees In blank, that afterward
turned up for $750,000.
