| P.S.
I was the last man on the expedition to get into trouble and
be court-martialed. On February 9, 1805 I climbed the wall of
Fort Mandan because I got back to camp too late and the doors
were locked. Because some of the Indians saw me, they knew they
could get into the fort without using the door, and made security
difficult. I was sentenced to 50 lashes, but the captains forgave
me and didn't whip me. I died about 1818. |
