Historical Figure
Patrick Gass
Patrick Gass was an Irish-born American soldier who served as a sergeant in the Corps of Discovery after being elected by his fellow soldiers to replace the deceased Sergeant Charles Floyd. An experienced carpenter, Gass supervised the construction of Fort Mandan and Fort Clatsop, the expedition's two winter quarters. His journal, published in 1807, was the first published account of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, appearing seven years before the official Biddle edition. Gass was the last surviving member of the expedition, dying in 1870 at the remarkable age of 99.
