WELCOME AMERICAN ISLAND

American Island


Lewis and Clark camped on the west bank below an island in the middle of the Missouri River near Chamberlain, " Passed an island about the middle of the river.   It is a mile long and has a great proportion of cedar on it."

Today the entire island is gone; flooded by the waters of the dams.
