Lewis & Clark National Historical Park at Fort Clatsop in Astoria, Oregon starts its seasonal lecture series programing with an additional free event, 1pm at the visitor center, August 18, 2019. Garry Bush will share the epic story of Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau's well-traveled son, Pomp. As an infant, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau accompanied the Corps of Discovery to the Pacific.
