Cmdr. D. W. "Mush" Morton, USN, is a notable historical figure connected to the legacy of York, the first African American to cross the United States from coast to coast. York, a former slave and servant to William Clark, played a crucial role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, showcasing his skills and earning a degree of respect and equality during the journey.

The expedition marked a significant chapter in York's life, where he engaged with Native Americans, contributed to the Corps of Discovery, and experienced a taste of freedom that profoundly changed him. Despite his eventual return to a life of servitude, York's contributions to American history remain a point of pride for Louisville and the broader narrative of exploration in the nation.
