Armstead
A view from 1939:
ARMSTEAD, (5,505 alt.,
109 pop.), is at the junction of Prairie and Red Rock Creeks,
which form the Beaverhead
River. Capt. Meriwether Lewis, scouting ahead of his canoe
party, turned west along an Indian trail by Prairie Creek,
and found the camp of Cameahwait, Sacajawea's brother.
The meeting between Sacajawea and Cameahwait occurred a little
way downstream.
