Note 165 — Chapter VIII

So named after some Frenchmen, and not Papillon, as called by Pike.—Nuttall.

Comment by Ed. Lee’s Creek is called “river au Millieu” by Lieutenant Wilkinson, who descended the Arkansas under Pike’s orders in 1807 (see post, note 195). The stream crosses and recrosses the line between Arkansas and Indian Territory, and enters the Arkansas just below Fort Smith.
