John Collins was born in Frederick County, Maryland. He transferred from an unlisted army unit in 1804 to join the expedition. He was one of the five chief hunters. He helped the army by feeding and making shelters for them.

John Collins would make a good private because he knew how to hunt. That way, he can sustain the group and make sure they live well. Since he knew how to hunt, he knew some of the animals as well so they can help identify and know which ones are okay to eat. Since he worked in the army, he should have good discipline and know what to do.

George Drouillard was recommended by Captain Daniel Bissell who claimed him to be an excellent hunter and was educated in the character and sign language of indians. He acted well in the face of danger where many need to keep their cool and have a level head. Lewis often praised him to be the most skilled hunter among the men. He often times played a key role when the Corp would encounter natives as a means of communicating with them. He also helped search for 2 men who had been taken from their company by the Oto tribe.

Drouillard successfully brought back both men and was accompanied by 9 oto Indians including Little Thief and Big Horse. He was Also assigned to small hunting groups during the winter when they stayed by the Mandan Tribe. They would get food for the Corp as well as meat to trade with the Mandan for other food items. He was a very valuable non military member because he was resourceful and knew the land well and could communicate with many of the Native tribes the Corp encountered.

I found this one animal today. It is brown, and it has long horns on the top of its head. They kind of look like wild versions of the cattle back home. I have noticed they eat plants and have brown fur covering their whole body with four legs and hooves for feet. It’s back is a bit slanted and gets lower as you go down it’s spine. Their face looks like a bulls and is quite large.

There was another animal. It looked like some type of bear, but bigger. It was brown and seemed very protective over its young. It’s paws were huge and were bigger than my face. It seems to eat fish and meat so it must be carnivorous. This is certainly isn’t a creature I would want to come face to face with.

I have found this bright pink flower that is fairly small and roughly the size of a pebble. It seems to grow fairly tall, about 3 feet. There are five petals which are blossoming a bit farther out from its base. Due to the area I found it in, I can conclude that it likes to grow in sunlight.

# data[].attributes.body
This flower grows on a shrub or bush like plant. It grows over 4 feet which it larger than a 3 year old child. The flower that grows on it a small and have the most delightful scent. I have notices many bees and small fast flying brids flying around the flowers. These flowers will be great for purfume scents.

Sacagewea the Charbonneau’s wife was pregnant and we were hesitant about bringing her along but it didn’t prove to be a problem and she actually got us in good terms with many of the tribes we met on our way to the Pacific Ocean.
