2) 1 long-barreled rifle that fired its bullet with compressed air, rather than by flint, spark and powder - This is important because of one reason. They wouldn’t have to take much more stuff other than sheets of lead for bullets.

3) 420 pounds of sheet lead for bullets - Obviously like I stated before, this is important for the previous item on the list. Without this there would be no ammunition.

4) 33 pounds of tiny beads of assorted colors - This item is important because they needed something to offer to the indians. What’s better than beads for them to make necklaces.

5) 150 yards of cloth to be oiled and sewn into tents and sheets - This item is important because without it they wouldn’t have a proper camp. Plus, this will allow them to make somewhere to sleep, plus some sheets to cover themselves at night.

6) 30 steels for striking to make fire - Firesteels are important so they can make a fire. Without fire they couldn’t warm up in the winter or cook food.

7) 193 pounds of "portable soup" - This portable soup would help make food. This paste would really help making different soups with meat they obtain on the journey.

8) 10 1/2 pounds of fishing hooks and fishing lines - Fishing rods are important because they could fish for fish for food. Without these, fishing would be harder for them.

9) Other drugs for blistering, salivation and increased kidney output - Of course they would need this to help with bad things your body will do.

10) Surveyor’s compass - This is very important if they want to find their way to and back from the Pacific. Without it they could be extremely lost.

So the first reason is because he’s a miller. With this we could have him grind up corn into meals to trade with the indians or make food. The second reason is that he was part of the army for three years before the expedition. We will need his knowledge, because we need more people that know how to use a gun. 

The Prairie Apple, also known as the Pediomelum esculentum, is a root found in the prairie. It contains an edible part of it, which is the root. It has very small flower pods on it. The color of the pods are a purple color. The rest of the plant is green in color. 

The leaves have a unique shape to it. The stem comes out and 5 leaves spring out in the same area. This plant could sell for some food across the globe or just for America.

The Columbian Black-Tailed Deer aka Odocoileus hemionus columbianus, is obviously a new type of deer. It’s one unique feature is the black tail. They live in the Pacific northwest. They’re also subspecies to the mule deer.

This animal could also be used as a food source. It could also be used for trading with the Natives later on in history.

Spot #2: Beaverhead Rock is near Dillon, Montana. The rock looked like a beaver’s head, and that’s where its name came from. Beaverhead is in the Mountain region of the U.S. The SHoshone was the tribe that came up with the name. This rock helped Sacagawea guide the Corps to the Shoshone because it was familiar.
