Synopsis "Charles Floyd (Explorer)"

Charles Floyd was a United States explorer, a non-commissioned officer in the U.S. Army, and quartermaster in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. A native of Kentucky, he was a relative of William Clark, an Uncle to the politician John Floyd, and a brother to James John Floyd. He was one of the first men to join the expedition, and the only person to die on the expedition. While exploring the Louisiana Purchase with Lewis and Clark, he took ill at the end of July 1804. On July 31st, Floyd wrote in his diary, "I am very sick and have been for sometime but have recovered my health again." However, this apparent recovery was soon followed by a severe turn for the worse. William Clark described Floyd's death as on "with a great deal of composure" and that before Floyd died he said to Clark: "I am going away. I want you to write me a letter." A funeral was held and Floyd was buried on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River. The expedition named the location Floyd's Bluff in his honor.
