Missouri to honor Gen William Henry Ashley with memorial
A Missouri plan seeks to honor Gen William Henry Ashley once buried unmarked on an Indian mound near Cooper County. The drive, led by Edgar Welson and the Boonville D A R, aims to locate the grave and erect a memorial crediting Ashley as a pioneer fur trader and explorer who helped found the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, with ties to St Louis, the Lewis and Clark era, and an enduring national legacy.
