Hello,
There is a new post on AnalPhilosopher. You can read it at:
http://www.analphilosopher.com/posts/1152031021.shtml
It begins:
The Corps of Discovery has divided. Meriwether
Lewis and about a third of the party are ascending
(on horseback) the Big Blackfoot River. William
Clark and the other two-third of the party are
ascending (also on horseback) the Bitterroot River.
It will be more than a month before the parties
reunite. Historians have questioned the wisdom of
dividing the party, since it made each part more
vulnerable. That things worked out doesn't make it
a wise decision. Clark halted his party for a
"sumptuous" lunch to celebrate the Fourth of July.
Lewis didn't mention the holiday. It's been 230
years since...
