The Sergeant Floyd Monument
Floyd's Bluff, Sioux City, Iowa
![]()
Sergeant Charles Floyd was the only member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition to die on the journey, on August 20, 1804, probably of a burst appendix, and the party buried him on this bluff above the Missouri, which now carries his name. In 1901 a 100 foot sandstone obelisk was finished over his grave. In 1960 it became the first National Historic Landmark in the United States.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
