Would not have been into poling or hauling those boats up the Missouri. Likely would have tired of dried salmon etc after a couple months too. Would like to have seen an undammed Columbia though.

If one reads their daily text, it was Clark that logged most of the material. Lewis often copied Clark's work word for word in his version. Would have been interesting if Lewis have indeed drafted his official report. Jefferson kept him salaried in some sort of figurehead position, but Lewis shot himself before ever really getting started on the job.

Don't know what my lifespan would have been with all those strong medicines like arsenic and mercury back then either.
