| P.S. Although there
were some discipline problems with Reubin at Camp Wood, we became
two of the most important members of the Corps of Discovery,
particularly as hunters. Meriwether Lewis most often chose the
two of us and George Drouillard for any tough missions. We four
were the only members of the Corps on Captain Lewis' reconnaissance
of the Marias River in 1806. We had the fight with the Blackfeet
war party that tried to take our rifles and horses. We killed
two of them. My brother Reubin died less than a year after the
expedition. I settled in Kentucky, married, and died by early
1823. |
