who spent the winter of 1805 with the corps of discovery?
the lewis and clark expedition
in 1805, the lewis and clark expedition corps of discovery were low on supplies and traveling rapidly down the columbia river, intending to meet one of the last trading ships of the season, hoping to secure needed supplies and to send back journals and specimens home as requested by president thomas jefferson. on november 10, 1805, a severe winter storm struck the area, forcing them off the river for six days and preventing them from meeting the supply ships. the group landed in a cove on the north bank of the river that captain william clark called in his journals "that dismal little nitch". after the storm passed the company moved to station camp on the west side of point ellice (referred to by clark as "blustering point", "stormey point", and "point distress."), and camped at that location for 10 days before relocating for the winter to what would become fort clatsop.

the oldest proof of foundation of rhenania heidelberg is dated july 23, 1802 (rhenania i) by members of rhenania giessen (hesse, germany). rhenania i was based on territorial filiations and aimed to counteract the freemasonry influenced student orders coming up within the second half of the 18th century. around 1804, rhenania i was unfortunately undercut by members of the heidelbergian order of the constantists (heidelberger constantisten-orden). rhenania and franko-badenia (founded in 1803) joined in 1803 to form the first senior convent (sc) and established the oldest bequeathed rules (sc-comment). after the conflicts between students and the military in 1804 both corps were significantly engaged in the walkout of the student body of neuenheim. in december 1804 it came to tumultuous blow-ups between heidelbergian renonces and constantists. due to investigations of the academic authorities rhenania i and franko- badenia dissolved themselves. on may 19, 1805 three members of rhenania (morgenstern, wenz, bayer) participated in the foundation of territorial filiated palatia (i). the remainder of the old rhenania founded the - in the beginning - closely linked territorial filiations of the oberrheiner (upper-rhiners; colors: red-blue-white-silver) and niederrheiner (lower- rhiners; colors: red-blue-white-gold) in august 1805. after the re-organization of the university by the elector and grand duke karl friedrich von baden, numerous non-residential students immigrated to heidelberg from 1805 onwards and founded new – but often short lived – fraternities (suevia, guestphalia, curonia, vandalia, hannovera, holsatia, helvetia, saxo-borussia). the term "corps" came up the first time after the partition of the heidelbergian sc and was used for a group of territorial filiations, including the niederrheiner (lower-rhiners), which later returned to the name rhenania and dissolved themselves after the wars of liberation. 1818 the corps hassia i was founded which two years later renamed itself into rhenania ii. it was explicitly mentioned in the foundation journal that rhenania ii understands itself as the continuator of the rhenania corps of 1802. the phase of rhenania ii plunged into the politically heated-up time of the vormärz. many badenese and palatine liberals belonged to rhenania ii at this time, such as: friedrich wilhelm knoebel (participant of the hambach festival), friedrich hecker (revolution leader in baden) and joseph martin reichard (president of the provisional government of palatinate). due to the assault on the karzer and the walkout of the student body of frankenthal (after disagreements with the heidelberger museumsgesellschaft (museums association) about the status of students on august 14, 1828), a declaration of disreputability valid for three years was decreed against the university but revoked again by the sc only a short time later. rhenania ii existed until november 3, 1833. as on behalf of rhenania ii the members of the 1829 founded hassia ii endowed corps rhenania iii (until 1842). due to external corps students, notably members of nassovia göttingen the foundation of corps nassovia ii resulted in 1838, which primarily recruited its procreation at the gymnasium (high school) in weilburg. nassovia created close relations not only to nassovia göttingen but also to the other territorial filiated corps hasso-nassovia in marburg and nassovia würzburg. they also used to have an active exchange with the corps rhenania in bonn.
