[LMB] A picture of the Fetch?

[Lois Fundis]

I thought I'd post the link to this picture in case
some people wanted help visualizing the boats in
Passage. I ran across this picture while looking up
something else on the website of one of our local
counties:
http://www.brookewv.org/images/lc.jpg
It's a reproduction of one of the boats used by the
Lewis and Clark Expedition. The boat, like the ones
it's a reproduction of, was made on this end of the
Gray, er, Ohio River (actually near Pittsburgh) and
transported L&C et al.

(Patrick Gass, the last surviving member of the
Expedition lived near here.

He died a few months short of his 98th birthday.
Tradition says he tried to reenlist in the Civil War
but was refused -- he was 90 then.)
