Lewis: Ohio River Journey, September 17, 1803
Lewis continued his journey down the Ohio River, observing the landscape becoming increasingly wild and undeveloped. Dense forests of oak, walnut, and hickory trees stretched along both banks of the river. Wildlife was visible from the boat, including deer that occasionally appeared at the water's edge to drink. The day's travel was marked by quiet observation of the natural surroundings as the expedition pressed further downstream into less settled territory.
Progress on the Ohio River. The country grew wilder as Lewis moved downstream. Forests of oak, walnut, and hickory lined the banks, and deer could occasionally be seen drinking at the water’s edge.
