THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2002 Members of the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho are preparing to dedicate a memorial to four warriors who traveled on foot to St. Louis, Missouri, in the 1830s. The men met with William Clark, who had first encountered the tribe with Meriwether Lewis nearly thirty years earlier. But two didn't survive and died in St. Louis, where they were buried, and two others died en route back home. The grave site was located two years ago. A granite carving will be dedicated on March 29, 2003. Get the Story:
