Sacagawea, Daniel Boone, & the Corps of Discovery

Місяць тому

An aspect of the Lewis and Clark expedition that’s often overlooked is that much of their success hinged largely on the good graces of the various Indigenous people on whose land they were crossing. Today, as we follow the expedition up Missouri, we’ll take a look at several such encounters, first with the Oto and Missouri tribes, then Arikara, the Yankton, and finally a near-disastrous confrontation with the Lakota - one that had the potential to significantly alter history as we know it. We’ll also examine the Corp of Discovery’s time among the Mandan, a possible meeting with the legendary Daniel Boone, and introduce a young girl who turned out to be one of the most valuable members of the expedition - a teenage mom known as Sacagawea. By the way, how exactly is her name pronounced? And was she really Shoshone? This is PART 2 in a series on Lewis and Clark - link down below for PART 1! #wildwest #history #ushistory

We’re following Lewis & Clark all the way to the Mandan on this one. Hijinks ensue.

Hey Josh, what a great episode! I read William Least Heat Moon’s book and I guess I missed a lot of the details you mentioned in your podcast. I appreciate the backstory you tell on many of the events surrounding the Lewis & Clark expedition. Thanks! Good job.

You just keep getting better and better Josh. Really loving the Lewis and Clark story.

@Carlton_Wilson

In Ambrose's 'Undaunted Courage' he covers the fact that Meriwether Lewis kept detailed daily logs of thenuse of his medicinal stores and the use of mercury in the treatment of syphillis. They all had it, including Sacajawea and both Lewis and Clark.

@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys

Some of those Indian tribes are not spoken of anymore although their names are quite well-known because you hear them commonly said since they are names of cities, states, or rivers. You are right about saying that the Core of Discovery's success was due to the good graces of the indigenous peoples.This whole adventure was fraught with danger and quite a bold one. I would appropriately call Lewis and Clark explorers I think the reason why little was said about what entailed with Lewis's mishap involving the fall and use of his knife was due to some embarrassment behind it. My goodness. What woman would want to marry a man 40 years her senior, but the part about his wanting to enlist in the Civil War at age 90 is even more bizarre and more bizarre had they accepted

@johnmartin5257

I am a huge fan of the Lewis and Clark and the corps of discovery’s expedition. I like the detail you’re putting into it. And I agree as well, Stephen Ambrose book is, in my opinion, the best resource in writing. Thanks for sharing, I can tell you put a lot of work into this.
