How Do You Spell Sioux?

Some say William Clark rendered the spelling of word “Sioux,” as in Sioux Indians, more than 20 different ways in his journals and never the same way twice! Leading men into the wilderness and successfully bringing them back alive were Clark's strong suits. Spelling, punctuation and sentence structure ... not so much!

An example of Clark’s writing, from June 15, 1805, on the Missouri River, east of present day Great Falls, Montana:
“The current excessively rapid and dificuelt to ascend great numbers of dangerous places and the fatigue…is incretiable…the men in the water from morning until hauling the cord & boats walking up on sharp rocks and round slippery stones which alternately cut their feet & throw them down, notwith standing all this dificuelty they go on with great chearfulness, added to those dificuelties the rattle snakes innumerable & require great caution to prevent being bitten.”
