The York Project

Dear readers, I am in Las Vegas visiting relatives at the moment, which has nothing to do with Lewis and Clark apart from the weird coincidence that this is Clark County, named after a different William Clark, a rather changeable and eccentric fellow who helped create the city of Las Vegas while serving as a Montana Senator.

But I did happen to pick up my daughter's alumni magazine from Lewis and Clark College in Portland and found a little article updating the York Project, an endeavor by the college and other parties to install a memorial to York on the L&C campus. The idea grew out of the effort of students in the law school. The project's website provides more information.

According to the article, the "College also plans to establish a center, named for York, which will be dedicated to the study of public memory."
