Baltimore's historic Federal Hill district thrives as one of the city's most active and resilient communities. In 1789, city residents gathered at Federal Hill Park to celebrate the ratification of the US Constitution. Later, the park would be occupied by Union soldiers during the Civil War. For decades, bustling shipyards ringed the harbor around Federal Hill. But in the 1960s, parts of the neighborhood, including the park itself, were targeted for destruction to make way for an interstate highway. Fortunately that plan was abandoned, and today, the National Historic Districts of Federal Hill, Federal Hill South, and Sharp Leadenhall--plus the adjoining neighborhood of Otterbein--are home to museums, restaurants, and breathtaking views of the Inner Harbor and skyline. Its quaint streets are lined with iconic Baltimore row houses from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Autorenporträt
William Clark, born on August 1, 1770, in Caroline County, Virginia, was an American explorer, soldier, and territorial governor. In 1785, his family relocated to Kentucky, where he later joined the militia and participated in campaigns against Native American tribes. By 1792, Clark had been commissioned as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army, serving under General Anthony Wayne and playing a significant role in the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794.In 1803, Meriwether Lewis invited Clark to co-lead the Corps of Discovery, an expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and seek a route to the Pacific Ocean. From 1804 to 1806, the expedition traversed uncharted territories, documenting diverse landscapes, establishing relations with numerous Native American tribes, and mapping the region. Clark's cartographic skills were instrumental in creating detailed maps that guided future explorers and settlers.After the expedition, Clark was appointed brigadier general of the Louisiana Territory militia and served as a federal Indian agent. In 1813, he became the governor of the Missouri Territory, a position he held until 1820. Later, as Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Clark oversaw numerous treaties that led to significant land cessions from Native American tribes, facilitating American expansion westward. He passed away on September 1, 1838, in St. Louis, Missouri, leaving a complex legacy intertwined with exploration and the nation's growth.
