A brief history of the Verendrye Plate, a lead tablet found in 1913 on a hilltop on the west side of the Missouri River at Fort Pierre. The plate was left on the hilltop in 1743 by the Verendrye brothers, French-Canadian explorers looking for a water route to the Pacific Ocean. The plate is the first known written evidence of a visit by Europeans to South Dakota.
