Yes. Drama indeed. So Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809), leader of the over-famous Lewis and Clark Expedition to the Louisiana Purchase, was also an avid plant collector. At Three Forks, Montana, he on July 29, 1805 picked Ribes odoratum - soon under the name of Ribes aureum -, and wondrously that specimen is still today preserved. The other specimens he collected were destroyed by a rising of the Missouri River, and he notes sadly on July 13, 1806: 'all my specimens of plants also lost'. This botany would have been even more tragic if it had been the cause of Lewis's murder or suicide at Grinder's Stand, Tennessee, in 1809.
A few years later in 1811, Thomas Nuttall (1786-1859) and John Bradbury (1768-1823), members of the so-called Astoria Expedition along the Missouri River, also collected our Odoratum. I'm too lazy to find out where Nuttall found it, but Bradbury - in whom I'm more interested - collected it on Little Cedar Island, Missouri. A bit of a drama queen - it would seem - he claimed that Frederick Traugott Pursh (1774-1820), in contrast to his middle name I guess, stole his plant (and others) and his description for his own as Ribes aureum in his Flora Americae Septentrionalis (1814). Bradbury thereafter refused ever again to write on botany!
Leaving drama and tragedy behind, -The Botanical Register in 1816 - with a sneer to the flowers of the genus as a whole - writes ecstatically: 'With us this pretty shrub has as yet no other value than that which arises from a colour and fragrance of blossom unlooked for in this genus; but in its native place it is highly prized for the excellence of the fruit, which is said to be larger than any of our more common garden sorts.'
Before I forget: 'Wendl.' is for Heinrich Ludolph Wendland (1791-1869), who officially described our Ribes in 1825. In his description he remarks rather sourly that he doesn't know whether Pursh is right in acclaiming Odoratum's fragrance, but that in 'matters of taste there can be no dispute'.

The area now known as "Hot Springs National Park" first became United States territory in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. The Dunbar-Hunter Expedition came here in 1804, sent by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the southern reaches of the recent purchase. Soon a bustling town grew up around the hot springs to provide services for health seekers. The resultant bathing industry led to Hot Springs becoming known as the "American Spa." But, even before becoming a U.S. territory, Hot Springs National Park had a long and colorful history, beginning long before its designation as Hot Springs Reservation in 1832. American Indians came here for thousands of years to quarry novaculite for their tools and weapons. Finally, on April 20, 1832, President Andrew Jackson signed legislation to set aside "...four sections of land including said (hot) springs, reserved for the future disposal of the United States (which) shall not be entered, located, or appropriated, for any other purpose whatsoever." This makes Hot Springs National Park the oldest national park among current National Park units, predating Yellowstone National Park by forty years.
West Mountain Drive has entrances on Prospect Avenue and Whittington Avenue. It is a two way road that leads to the Summit Loop where you will find three overlooks. The first overlook affords a good view of the former Army-Navy Hospital (barely seen in this photo in the lower right corner) and the Hot Springs Mountain Tower (seen in the photograph above) that is 216 feet above Hot Springs Mountain and 1,256 feet above Sea level. The second overlook has a historic trail shelter and picnic tables and the summit has a view south to the Trap Mountains and Lake Hamilton. This shelter was built in 1924 making it one of the oldest mountain shelters still in use today at Hot Springs National Park. Addtionaly, at the third overlook, there is access to sunset trail at the summit.

Holland House, 92 Yundah Street, Shorncliffe in northern bayside Brisbane. Built in 1889, it's walls could tell 1000 stories.
From the Brisbane City Council Heritage Register -
Holland House reflects the appeal of Shorncliffe as a seaside resort for Brisbane residents in the nineteenth century. Built circa 1889 as a hotel, it was intended to cater to vacationers brought to Sandgate and Shorncliffe by the new railway line. It was refused licensing, however, and its proprietor was declared insolvent. From the early twentieth century it operated as a boarding house, known initially as ‘Dorset House’. The large timber residence was a popular holiday and honeymoon destination in the twentieth century before it was converted to flats. This block of land was granted to William John Loudon in September 1856. Loudon, or Louden, had operated the Lamb Inn, one of the oldest hotels in Fortitude Valley, and a hotel on the road to Sandgate. He opened a hotel in Sandgate but did not develop this site. Although large, the site did not have views to the sea, and was not particularly close to transport.
This situation changed by 1882, however. Yundah Street became a popular area for boarding houses, while the rest of Shorncliffe began to develop rapidly, leaving few areas vacant. ‘This land is in reality the only large block left in Sandgate for subdividing purposes,’ wrote sales advertisements, which claim, though exaggerated, was borne out somewhat by the increasing number of houses, shops, hotels and holiday homes built in and around the area. Loudon’s site, since purchased and sold by Arthur Wettendal, was transferred vacant to Jacob Dickinson in 1882.
Dickinson was a Fortitude Valley second-hand dealer, who appears to have purchased this site as a speculative investment property. He also had another property in Sandgate, ‘Bella Vista’, in which he resided in 1889, and evidently also hosted boarders there.
In January 1889 Dickinson applied for a licence for his Yundah Street property. He had prepared plans, which he presented to the Sandgate Board, and estimated the cost of the new property at £5,000. In April 1889, a new application was made for the property in the name of RF Daniel.
(Dickinson attempted to turn his property into a hotel in the late 1880s. He applied for a hotel licence but his application was refused on the grounds of a hotel being ‘unneeded’. Although Dickenson had claimed that he had turned away paying guests for lack of room, Sandgate already featured accommodation. The 1885 post office directory listed five hotels and eight boarding-houses, including two temperance houses for teetotallers. Other proprietors, like Patrick Murphy, had also had applications refused but constructed large residences
In spite of this response Dickinson had completed construction of the property by 1890, when he was declared insolvent.)
Holland House, built in 1876, was a popular guest house for honeymooners. The house and a tennis court stood on grounds of one and a half acres within two minutes’ walk of the beach and three minutes from the railway station. Mrs English, the proprietress, offered visitors ‘every attention and all home comforts’ as well as ‘milk and poultry from our own yards’. It was not only the promise of fresh seaside air and home cooking that attracted American servicemen to 92 Yundah Street during the second world war. At that stage Holland House operated as a brothel.
Mrs English had valuation for Holland House dropped from £240 to £180 in 1933 (depreciation in values.)
The building seems to still operate as a boarding house.
