Clark Glacier, Lane County. This is the westerly of the two small glaciers on the south side of the South Sister, and was named for William Clark in 1924 by Professor Edwin T.

Thwaites' Original Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition gives a true account of the exploration, and on page XXVII of the first volume is a short biography of William Clark. He was born in Viriginia on August 1, 1770, and was the younger brother of George Rogers Clark (1752-1818). At the age of 23 he was a first lieutenant in General Anthony Wayne's western army. He retired from the army in 1796 with brevet rank of captain, and lived quietly with his family, occupied chiefly in adjusting the affairs of his older brother until 1803 when he was invited by Meriwether Lewis to join Jefferson's proposed exploring expedition to the Pacific Ocean. After the expedition Jefferson appointed Clark brigadier general of the militia of Louisiana, and also Indian agent for Louisiana. Subsequently Clark was surveyor general for Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas. He died on September 1, 1838. For details of Clark's life see Coues' History of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, volume I.
