Vacancy!

From the Lewis and Clark Fort Mandan Foundation:

March 14, 1805

Today in 1805, the Lewis & Clark Expedition almost lost Sacagawea. Her angry husband Toussaint Charbonneau had quit and moved out of their cabin at Fort Mandan.

What would have happened to them without her?

    1. When the Expedition got to the Shoshone, it sure was easier to trade for those horses because Sacagawea was there to help translate!

  15. Where did Charboneau go after his wife almost got lost? Did he move into a cabin only for him? Or did he share one cabin with Lewis and Clark? Julia

  16. I think that they wouldn't have a translator or a guide. And they probably wouldn't have Little Pomp with them,either.

  19. They wouldn't be able to trade for horses and the Indians wouldn't trust them that much. Why did Charbonneau want to quit?
