The Stress of the Mid-way Point

July 1805

We’ve come to the point where we will need Sacagawea’s help. Moving over the land where she was kidnapped was emotional. She told of when she twisted her ankle, how she couldn’t get away, and thought her brother was probably killed. It was a tough time for her to talk about the event. It was a tough time for Capt. Clark, too, who was sick and had very hurt feet. And, it was rough on Capt. Lewis, for he had the responsibility of finding and befriending the Shoshones. Finally, Charbonneau was frustrating and did not want to continue the trek across the mountains. His attempt to get Capt. Lewis to order Sacagawea to stay back fortunately did not work. Charbonneau continues to be such a wimp!
