Sergeant Floyd Monument, Sioux City, Iowa
A long-time Lewis & Clark aficionado, I recorded this timelapse at the Sergeant Floyd Monument at sunset on a very cloudy, rainy evening in October 2016... 212 years after his death in August 1804 as the expedition was ascending the Missouri River along the Loess Hills of western Iowa.
This transcript of the National Park Service webpage for the monument tells the story:
The Sergeant Floyd Monument commemorates Sergeant Charles Floyd, Jr., the only member of the Corps of Discovery to die on the journey. Writing in his diary on July 31st, Floyd noted, I am verry sick and has ben for Sometime but have Recovered my helth again. However, this quick recovery was followed by a turn for the worse. The night before his death, Clark remarked, Serjeant Floyd is taken verry bad all at once with a Biliose Chorlick we attempt to relieve him without success as yet, hr gets worst and we are much allarmed at his Situation, all attention to him. On August 20, 1804, Floyd passed away, most likely from peritonitis, caused by the inflammation or rupture of his appendix. He died from an illness that even the best doctors of the day could not have cured. Clark wrote:
. . . Serj. Floyd died with a great deal of composure. Before his death he said to me, I am going away. I want you to write me a letter. We buried him on the top of the bluff ½ mile below a small river to which we gave his name. He was buried with the Honors of War much lamented. A seeder post with the (I) Name Sergt. C. Floyd died here 20th of August 1804 was fixed at his grave. This man at all times gave us proofs of his firmness and determined resolution to doe service to his countrey and honor to himself . . .
