He was the fifth named guy in the journals to bring down a Buffalo.
He was a great hunter.
He was big and strong.
He could swim.
A lot of the people in the expedition could not swim, which that's a fact that I still can't wrap my head around.
Right.
You're doing this river expedition.
You would think so, but.
Right, right.
No, it's, I mean, it's a, it's a wild, it's a wild dynamic.
I think one reason the journals are helpful is they help you see Clark's point of view on this too, because you can see how, for lack of a better word, possessive Clark is.
Like, like York, the native people,
once they get far enough to the north, the native people are obsessed with York because they've never met somebody with black skin before.
So they come up and they'll spit on their hands and try to rub York's skin to rub the paint off.
And then when they realize it's not paint, they're like, whoa, this is something new.
And when you read Clark's journal entries, you can see that Clark is just kind of jealous in a weird way because he's so used to being the person above York that once York starts to get more attention, that makes their relationship get even stranger.
So it's just... I think York could beat his ass too.
I mean...
Clark again and again talked about how big York was.
So I, I, I think York was probably the largest guy on the, on the whole expedition.
