He belonged to two families of large slaveholding families. Clark's slave, York, maintained contact with Clark years after he received his freedom, however York was not rewarded with great riches, like the other voyagers on the "Discovery" journey across America. Not much is known about the slaves owned by Meriwether Lewis.</FONT></HTML>
