Not even the Mississippi. It's on the St. Croix.

I'm pretty apathetic about a statue that costs less than $1 billion. But if it costs $1 billion, I say hell no.

They explored the Missouri not the Mississippi

We need statues of Dunbar and Hunter and of Freeman & Curtis.

Even if they raised $10 billion in private funds and found private land to build them, some leftist group will go to some leftist judge and get and injunction to bog it down in litigation and legal costs for decades.

Meriwether Lewis had a slave, so that’s going to be a non-starter.

ETA: It was Clark who had the slave. Lewis was a suicide.

It’d be cool to look at but only if some private money does it. I ain’t wasting any tax money on statues.
