History: Private George Shannon was the youngest member of the Corps of Discovery Expedition. On August 26, 1804 Shannon and George Drouillard were sent to round up the expedition’s strayed horses near present day St. James, Nebraska. Drouillard returned the following day saying he couldn’t find the horses or Shannon. Shannon was lost! On September 11th, the keelboat crew spotted him on the shore, barely alive, after he had been lost for 16 days.
