Research Note on Eight vs. Nine Sites

It is stated at the National Historic Landmark (NHL) summary that there are nine sites included in the NHL, although that summary only lists only the above eight by name. The NHL nomination document clearly describes only eight sites. An Arkansas state webpage states that the Old U.S. Arsenal Building (meaning the The Tower Building of the Little Rock Arsenal, in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas, where the expedition started from, is included in the NHL. The photo set that accompanies the NHL nomination includes photos of the U.S. Arsenal Building as well as of the eight other sites. So it is unclear whether the Arsenal site is part of the NHL or not. It is unclear whether it was intended to be included but was dropped, or whether it was added after the NHL nomination document was completed.
