Little Pomp
From the Lewis and Clark Fort Mandan Foundation:
February 11, 1805
Happy birthday, little Pomp! Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, the son of Toussaint and Sacagawea, was probably born in a room very much like this, 208 years ago today.
Yeah Olivia and Alexis why not I mean there is a cute little fox... wait is that a dead fox never mind kinda besides the dead fox the room is super cool! Hayden.
I can't belive that the baby Baptiste was born 208 years ago. That is so interesting, and I would like to live 208 years ago and see their culture that they do there. Lauren
That's a small bed and the ceiling is super close to the floor it sounds like they were either pretty short or just couldn't make the ceiling high enough!
I'm confused that they sometimes call him Baptiste and sometimes Pomp. Also I wonder if anyone has ever found out Charbonneau's first name. Even though we know Laura is playing Charbonneau.
When Sacagawea was ready to give birth to Pomp, Captain Lewis gave her water mixed with pieces of a rattle snake's rattle to drink. He was told it would make the delivery easier! What do you think?
yay happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Olivia

Jean Baptiste Charbonneau = Pomp (or, sometimes, Pompey)
DeleteHis parents were Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. Now, you also know he had a sister named Lisette, too! :)
Do you pronounce Toussaint like (TOO-Saint)or (TOE-saint)?
