June,9 They camped 5 miles beyond a small lake on the prairie." Harper and brothers " published the first narrative of the expedition by the order of the Government of the USA. After 100 years after the expedition, a good source of information became available. Now we we have Garry Molton's journals of Lewis and Clark's expedition, a 20 year effort of 13 volumes, which was published the University of Nebraska Press. The Original journals are stored in the American Philosophical Society Library in Philadelphia.
June,10 The party discovered cotton trees, growing in the bottom subject of the flood and some kind of double size plums, growing in bushes. The River of Cheraton was named after an early trader.

June,28 Captain Lewis had his personal entries in the journals generally documenting in great detail course and distance, traveled altitude of the Sun with a sextant , magnetic azimutes, radiant altitude time written from a chronometer. This data produced accurate maps when they returned home. One of the orders of President Jefferson was to find the Nothern boundary between Luisiana and Canada.
Their observations allowed to do that accurately.
June,30 Also the party observed great amounts of coal there.
