And you want to talk about platoon-level dynamics, you've got Lewis and Clark trying to keep Jefferson happy.
You've got these enlisted soldiers who can kind of be a pain in the ass.
And you've got Ordway stuck in the middle trying to navigate all this stuff.
So when I'm writing his chapters, I'm really trying to dig into those kind of soldierly dynamics.
And I do that in all the chapters that kind of rotate points of view.

This is the reason I wrote this, because I felt like I could tell the other half of the story.
They over hunt.
Well, I really appreciate you saying that.

So like if I had just done Lewis and Clark's perspective or even York's perspective or Orway's perspective, that's like the third winter quarters they built at that point.
