The Three Pilots Revisited
Today’s post was written by our local guest blogger, Fred Eggers. I consider him an outstanding researcher and a great blessing to our museum. In 1968, Jess E. Thilenius and Felix F. Snider published the booklet Tower Rock (la Roche de la Croix) in Cape Girardeau. At that time, it was likely the first compilation of information on this well-known landmark that was available. The booklet did not have a table of contents or index and the stories that it contained were not in chronological order, but it did contain a lot of historical information. Somehow the editors did miss the visit to the rock by the Discovery Expedition of Lewis and Clark in 1803, but they did not have all the internet resources that we have now. I am a little surprised that they missed it since Dr. Snider was a professor and the chairman of the library science department at Southeast Missouri State University where the Original Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition 1804-1806 were located on the shelves of the Kent Library.
