Abstract:

These superintendency records, sometimes called the William Clark papers, include record copies of letters sent and received, accounts and other fiscal records relating to the superintendency and various agents and subagents, many miscellaneous records, an office diary kept for William Clark, 1826-1831, and two record books of the Missouri Fur Company, 1812-1817. Some of the records antedate the organization as such of the St. Louis Superintendency in 1822, and others extend beyond Clark's own death in 1838. Letters received are mainly for the periods 1830-1832, 1839-1846; letters sent for the periods 1829-1832, 1839-1855, reflecting the superintendencies of Clark, Joshua Pilcher, David D. Mitchell, Thomas H. Harvey, and Alfred Cumming.
