Lewis: Ohio River Journey, September 6, 1803
Lewis pushed slowly down the Ohio River, covering only a few miles as persistently low water levels hampered progress. Along the way, he took note of the surrounding landscape, observing the rich bottomland forests lining the riverbanks and the abundant wildlife inhabiting them. The day was characterized more by careful observation of the natural environment than by significant distance traveled, as the difficult river conditions continued to slow the expedition's early descent.
Lewis continued the tedious descent of the Ohio River, making only a few miles per day due to the low water. He observed the rich bottomland forests and abundant wildlife along the riverbanks.
