Jefferson City MO: Yanis Coffee Zone

Yanis Coffee Zone: Home of Rocket Fuel

This fortunate find in Jefferson City MO has great coffee, food and music. The owner is the cook, and he warmly  greets strangers and regulars alike.

Cool place!

Missouri: York

York, Lewis, Clark and Drouillard at the Lewis and Clark Trailhead Plaza in Jefferson City.

Clark owned York; he was given to him by Clark's father.  In literature and diaries he is variously called a manservant, "body servant", "my black Servent", my boy york".  Because he was a slave he was not paid when the Corps returned. He was married to a woman who was enslaved by someone else and could rarely see her. He was not freed by Clark for at least ten years after the Corps returned.

Missouri: Jefferson City

York, Meriwether Lewis, Seaman, Joli, Ed, William Clark and George Drouillard at Jefferson City where we spent our last night on the road. Seaman is checking out Lewis' hat.  It is still very early in the trip for the Corps of Discovery.

The sculptures on the site, Lewis and Clark Trailhead Plaza, were designed by Sabra Tull Meyer, Missouri sculptor.
