Well one obvious thing I can try to research is the name and direct connection of my ancestor and how he came to be involved in Lewis and Clarks voyage of discovery. Since there were dozens of un-named guides foretold to have done the same job as my ancestor, I feel it is going to be hard to dig up evidence on one supplimentary person. What I believe will be much more practicable to research localy and still connect in with my place is discovering more about William Clark. Clarksville, Indiana was named after him so I am certain there is a well document history there regarding his life and involvement with the corps of discovery.
It is said that William Clark and his equaly notable brother George Rogers Clark spent much of their adolescent years in a plantation house known as Locust Grove, at Mulberry Hill, near beargrass creek just outside of Louisville. This is another location were I am sure there is literature regarding his life.
