The rise and fall of trading posts along Missouri River
2011
Overview
In late July 1804, Lewis and Clark reached a point in today's Washington County, Neb., above where Boyer's Creek entered the Missouri River, where they planned a meeting with \"neighboring tribes\" to \"cultivate their friendship.\" The site overlooking the river was termed \"Camp Councile Bluff or Handsom Prairie\" and later referred to as simply Council Bluff, which is often confused with the city in Iowa across from Omaha (which has an \"s\" at the end of its name). When Prince Maximilian visited, he referred to the trading post as \"a row of buildings of various sizes, stores and houses.\" Another observer said the \"house is rather firmly put together and has chimneys of brick\" while Paul Wilhelm said the surrounding hills \"enclose it almost like a wall.\"
