There is a mystery in the mountains that can be viewed in the Richland Washington area. The historians Gary Lentz and Dave Nicandri, in collaboration with Rob Stratton a surveyor, have collaborated to find an answer to the intriguing mystery of the Lewis and Clark story in Washington:
Who saw the conical mountain bearing southwest?
This question appears to be of some importance to historians, who have pursued documents to determine the facts; Clark wrote about the mountain in his diary; he appear to have time to write about it; and he was a healthy and fit man to be able to visit the mountain. This has begged the question: Why didn’t Clark mention that he climbed the mountain?
It is possible that Captain Meriwether Lewis saw the mountain first. Although he has not made a journal entry of it, it was widely acknowledged that he often went on walks alone. It is also known that Lewis spent a few days in camp whilst Clark was exploring, and historians have often wondered: What was he doing?
