| Information
signs reveal Lewis' reasons for ending this exploration phase; the
most important being Cut Bank Creek turned west. The lack of game
and the weather added misery to the plan. Daily journal entries emphasized
deteriorating weather: 7/23-clouds over the moon "put an end
to further observation." 7/24-"At 8A.M. the sun made it's[its]
appearance...it shortly after clouded up again and continued to rain
the balance of the day" 7/25:-"cold cloudy and raining..."I
did not see the sun through the whole course of the day" 7/26:-"The
morning was cloudy and continued to rain as usual..." [9AM no
weather change] "I had the horses caught...." |
