On what should have been a day of celebration and excitement over a new academic year, the Lewis & Clark family is instead in the midst of shock and grief after a brick column collapsed, killing one student and injuring two others.
I know many of you have colleagues, friends, and family at Lewis & Clark, and I encourage you to check in with them to offer your sympathy and support. I will offer President Holmes-Sullivan any assistance that Pacific can provide in this difficult time.
If you are struggling with your own grief in the wake of this tragedy, know that we are here to support you. Students may reach out to the Student Counseling Center, and employees can find support through the Employee Assistance Program at Canopy

Letter to Addison Clark
No full textFamily updateAdd-Ran, Tex.
Dear Papa,
As you wanted me to tell you how I got home I at Ft. W. where I left you.
I got very sleepy before I got W. I nearly went to sleep. A man on the train told me when to get off. I then got on the Bus paid the man 25 cts. and went up to the Carson and Lewis house and got of and the man showed me a little room by my self. I didend [sic] get any supper.
Next morning the man woke me. I had a cold breakfast. I paid the hotel man one dollar and got one the stage. I got both tired and sleepy before I got home. When I got here brother was making a telephone, Mamma was sewing, Sister was peeling watermelon rines [sic] to make preserves and I don’t know what Bessie, Zemmie and Roy were doing. I am still coughing with my cold. Mr. Frank Rawlins preached last night. Well I have told you how I got home so I will close. Write soon. Your son,
Carlie
On the Historian’s Trail: Gary E. Moulton’s Lewis and Clark Odyssey
No full textIn this inaugural Gary E. Moulton Lecture, I invite you on a journey along a historian\u27s trail to trace Gary Moulton\u27s Lewis and Clark odyssey. We will compare his experiences in editing the journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition with similar events from the Corps of Discovery and share new insights, laughter, and appreciation for this scholar whom we honor today. I will employ literary license to include some overt connections to my Lewis and Clark audience
Book Review of \u3ci\u3e Venereal Disease and the Lewis and Clark Expedition\u3c/i\u3e by Thomas P. Lowry
No full textAlthough Lewis and Clark literature has proliferated in the last decade, few works have added scholarly discourse to this field of study. The highly focused Venereal Disease and the Lewis and Clark Expedition, however, will likely stand out on the Lewis and Clark bookshelf as an important contribution
Butterfly species in Lewis and Clark County, Montana and comparison to those of Missoula County, Montana and Alberta, Canada
No full textThe butterflies of Lewis and Clark County were studied and then compared to Missoula County and the Province of Alberta. Missoula County is on the west side of the Continental Divide, while Alberta and Lewis and Clark County are east of the Divide. Believing that the Divide may limit east-west migration, I hypothesized that the fauna of Lewis and Clark County would more closely resemble the fauna of Alberta than that of Missoula County. For Lewis and Clark County, butterflies were captured, killed, mounted, and identified from eight sites. Collection took place from May 25 to July 27, 2001. My collection data of 69 species was combined with previous collection data from Dr. Steve Kohler (personal communication) and Dr. John Christenson (personal communication) for analyzing results. The combined data was used to create distribution maps and flight period tables for Lewis and Clark County. Lists were compiled for each ofthe three regions and then compared. While distribution maps reveal where certain species can be found, flight period tables represent the known times of emergence for different butterfly species. The comparison of compiled lists from Lewis and Clark County and Missoula County and Alberta showed Lewis and Clark County to more closely resemble Missoula County. These analyses allow for a more thorough understanding of the species found within Lewis and Clark County and for the comparison of Lewis and Clark County’s species to the other two regions
I am Sacajawea, I am York our journey West with Lewis and Clark
No full textSacajawea, a Shoshoni woman, and York, a slave, assist Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on their westward expedition; Sacajawea using her knowledge of the land, and York using his superior hunting skills. When Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery set out in the spring of 1804, they had chosen to go on an unprecedented, extremely dangerous journey. It would be the adventure of a lifetime. Unlike others in the group, two key members chose to join the hazardous expedition: York, Clark's slave, and Sacajawea, considered to be the property of Charbonneau, the expedition's translator. The unique knowledge and skills Sacajawea and York had were essential to the success of the trip. The dual stories of these two outsiders, who earned their way into the inner core of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, shed new light on one of the most exciting and important undertakings in American history
Numerical modeling of sediment flushing from Lewis and Clark Lake
No full textLewis and Clark Lake is located on the main stream of the Missouri River. The reservoir is formed behind Gavins Point dam near Yankton, South Dakota, U.S.A. The Lewis and Clark Lake reach extends about 40 km from the Gavins Point dam. The reservoir delta has been growing since the closure of Gavins Point dam in 1955 and has resulted in a 21% reduction of storage within the maximum pool of the reservoir. Among several sediment management methods, drawdown flushing has been recommended as a possible management technique. The engineering viability of removing sediments deposited in the lake should be examined by numerical modeling before implementing a drawdown flushing. GSTARS4 was used for this study and calibrated by using measured data from 1975 to 1995. Channel cross-section changes and amount of flushed sediment were predicted with four hypothetical flow scenarios. The flushing efficiencies of all scenarios were estimated by comparing the ratios between water consumption and flushed sediment during flushing
Erratum: Investigating dark matter substructure with pulsar timing - II. Improved limits on small-scale cosmology [MNRAS, 456, 2 (2016) (1402-1409)] DOI:10.1093/mnras/stv2529
No full textThe paper 'Investigating darkmatter substructure with pulsar timing - II. Improved limits on small-scale cosmology' was published in MNRAS, 456, 1402 (Paper II, Clark, Lewis & Scott 2016b). Due to an error in the interpretation of the timing noise in Paper I (Clark, Lewis & Scott 2016a), the limits on UCMH abundance used in Paper II were incorrect
