Yeah.
I felt that tension again and again, writing this book because it's like on, on one hand,
Sacagawea's actions feel like it's at a workplace, right?
Like she's doing human interactions the same way we would.
But on another hand, it's just a completely different world.
And so I don't think there's a way to resolve that as a historian.
I think you just need to accept that both things are true and then try to tell the story as honestly as you can.
But it's like that push-pull, I felt that again and again in this book.
No.
I spent five years on this.
I love all 10 of the people in this book, and I still have way more questions than answers.
Is that a crazy thing to say?
But if you're trying to be an honest and accurate historian, I don't know what other response you would have.
I just wonder, what did Lewis think about York?
Because Lewis specifically told Clark, recruit unmarried men.
Because they knew that they wanted people without family ties, but they also knew that the men were going to have sex with lots of Native women.
They'd been in the army.
They knew that they wanted young guys who were not attached.
And so Lewis shows up, and Clark's like, York's coming.
And York's married.
