JORDAN VALLEY, Ore. - Did you travel with your parents as an infant?

Born in 1805, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau accompanied his parents as they led a government expedition over the Rockies on their way to the Pacific Ocean.

Today, many Americans know his mother by name. She and her son appeared together on the eponymous Sacagawea dollar coin, minted from 2000 to 2008.

The Lemhi Shoshone woman and her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau, helped guide Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery on their voyage.

William Clark gave the boy the nickname "Pomp" along the way. The Pompey’s Pillar National Monument in Montana is named in his honor.

Clark continued to guide young Pomp's life, later paying for the boy's formal education in St. Louis.

As a young man, Pomp later met a German aristocrat and accepted an invitation to visit Europe.

Pomp returned 6 years later, fluent in German, Spanish and French - and headed West.

"In 1829, he ranged the far West for nearly four decades, as a mountain man guide, interpreter, magistrate and Forty Niner," according to one of the signs posted where he died. "In 1866, he left the California gold fields for a new strike in Montana."

And that's where our story begins to draw to a conclusion in Oregon.

Pomp contracted pneumonia after crossing the Owyhee River.

He died on May 16, 1866, at Inskip Station, a stagecoach stop 25 miles from the river. The community there of Danner, Oregon, is now a ghost town.
