York was Clark's slave, willed to him by his father. He was born circa 1770 and he was born into slavery as both his mother Rose and his father York were already slaves of the Clark family. But Clark did not like to refer to him as a "slave", so in the journals he called him "my servant". The two men had grown up together, and Clark trusted him completely. York was tall, strong, a valuable member of the expedition, and devoted to Clark, who freed him when they returned to St. Louis. Subsequently Clark set him up in the draying business.
