From Wikipedia.
In the last post, I mentioned that Charles Gratiot was at the Ceremony of the Three Flags on St. Louis.It is also called Three Flags Day and took place on March 9 and 10, 1804, when Spain officially turned over Louisiana (New Spain) to France who then turned it over to the United States as per the Louisiana Purchase.
The ceremony took place in St. Louis and cleared the way for Lewis and Clark to begin their famous expedition of exploration.
