William Clark was appointed as US Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Saint Louis after the famous Lewis & Clark expedition. In a letter written in 1810, he requested cloth similar to the five fabric samples he had enclosed to be used as gifts for the tribes of the Upper Missouri. This letter and the cloth samples are part of the Museum of the Fur Trade's collection. This beautiful red and cream pattern is printed on 100% cotton, and is 45" wide.
