After crossing the Continental Divide southeast of here, Aug. 12, 1805, Lewis camped with a Shoshoni band near here, Aug. 13-14.
Lewis had to obtain Indian horses so his men could get from the upper Missouri to a navigable stream flowing to the Pacific. So he persuaded the Shoshoni to accompany him to the expedition's main camp east of the mountains. There he found the Shoshoni chief to be Sacajawea's brother. With horses and help from Sacajawea's people. Lewis and Clark came to this valley Aug. 26 on their way north to the Lolo Trail and the Clearwater.
