But even more than that, I saw my wife changing diapers and breastfeeding the kids.
So I found Shoshone people and just interviewed them.
And we're like, in your culture, and especially in this time period, what was a diaper?
And so like we know this carrier that Sacagawea famously had.
Like a lot of the statues will have that, that she had the baby strapped on her back in a carrier.
But the bottom of the carrier was lined with either fur or some kind of soft vegetable material or something like that.
And so each morning she would wake up.
She would unlace the carrier.
She would change out the lining, put in fresh lining.
She would give her son a bath.
So she didn't just put cold water on him.
She probably warmed the water up by putting it in her mouth and letting her body temperature bring it up to heat.
Then she would wash him.
She would breastfeed him.
And so not just for her, for everybody, I really tried to get those like tactile everyday details and then pay attention to just like how one human being and another human being kind of interact.
that's why this is such a great story.
Like the Rocky mountains are great.
The grizzly bears are great, but mostly because of these journals, we get to see these amazing human beings under the most intense pressure any human being could face.
And they do it.
They make it, they make it back.
