What names did explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark give to the rivers known today as the Salmon and the Bitterroot?
- Lewis named the Bitterroot for Clark; Clark named the Salmon for Lewis. Neither name survived. But one very personal name Clark gave a river did stick: that of the Judith River in Montana, which he named for the woman he hoped to—and did—marry when the historic expedition to the Pacific coast ended.
