The idea
The corps wintered at the mouth of the Missouri, set off in May eighteen oh four, and met fierce storms that left them drenched and freezing.
In practice
Enormous clouds of gnats and mosquitos, elk and grizzly bears killed, one man surviving a rattlesnake bite.
Where people slip
Lewis became seriously ill after tasting minerals he had collected, which indicates the method as much as the hazard.
