Final Entry

Spring 1806

Dear Captain John,

The journey was the corps at it's best. The journey was america at it's best. though tough times and easy, we made it to the great western ocean. The corps did an amazing job hunting, preserving, capturing, befriending, and most importantly, traveling. Rain, sleet, or snow we hiked all day and slept all night, the corps should be incredibly proud at what they have accomplished a great thing in our short lives.

Signed,

Private Will Pulice

P.S. For my weekly labors, discoveries... For all my endeavors i have brought to the corps

I think I should be paid the grade of a C

Watkuweis. Today we met a woman named Watkuweis. she walked such an incredible distance for a lone woman and her baby to travel! Faced with starvation in the season of cold, she killed her horse for food. Under such hardships, her baby died. By a miracle she made her way to a band of Salish who helped her return to her tribe, but the privations of her journey had taken a toll on her health, which she never fully regained. Though still young, she was called "Watkuweis." she will be of great help to us in due time.

Today Sea had a close encounter with a huge Grizzly Bear that brought him in the river, it could have cost him his life. He needs to know when not to leave camp because he means a lot to the corps.

We need to watch him more closely,
