There's a lot of elk on our side of the river.
And they were right.
But also that persuaded the Americans to go to their side of the river where things went sideways, as you said, is that the Americans killed more than 150 elk that winter.
And so the elk would normally, I tracked all this stuff really carefully, the elk would normally like spend the winter down by the river and then go back up into the mountains.
They would normally stay by the river until May.
But by March 1st, the elk were gone.
because the Americans had hunted them so aggressively.
And from the American point of view, they needed elk skins to make moccasins.
They needed elk brains to mash into paste to soften the elk skins, and they needed to eat.
But they hunted so aggressively that they overhunted, and that just only made the dynamics more tense between them and the clads.
Yeah.
I mean, we were just talking about Lincoln and how different places have claim to them.
And I think Lewis and Clark are absolutely at that level where different people have claim to it.
So people who don't live anywhere near the trail, I do think they picture the Great Plains and the bison and that kind of stuff.
There's no question about that because a lot of the Limhi Pass still looks pretty much what it looked like when Lewis and Clark saw it.
But I think if you talk to people who live in any of these – I mean, if you talk to people in St.
Louis, like, they just want to talk about Lewis and Clark in St.
Louis.
I just did a book event there, and it was amazing.
And there were so many people who could really get into the nitty-gritty about their – Oh, like what they did there.
