Commentary

On April 15 the Yellow Stone neared the mouth of Cedar Creek above Jefferson City, Missouri, and continued past the village of Marion and the junctions of Little Manito and Saline creeks. In the afternoon the steamer reached Boonville near the village of Franklin. Maximilian had hoped to obtain plant paper at Boonville, but it was Sunday and all stores were closed. Ashore, Bodmer made a quick sketch of this interesting landmark.
