He was an ensign in the army at the early age of eighteen years. Promoted to be a captain, he was in 1804 selected by President Jefferson, in conjunction with Capt. Meriwether Lewis, to explore the great west from the Mississippi to the mouth of Columbia river.
He was appointed governor of Missouri in 1812. He was promoted to be a brigadier-general in 1817. In 1822 he was appointed Indian agent by President Monroe. He died after having served his country over fifty years, leaving a name that is an honor to the American army.
