What did the Lewis & Clark Expedition eat on their two year journey?

I have all kinds of air rifles, but I would love to see and own one like that...

They were got food from all of the native black tribes that they came across. Lost history.

I think you forgot to mention the Buffalo. There were quite a few of those beefy critters. And the Buffalo robes were some of the warmest apparal available.

Adjacent to our farm is/was the Ft Mandan Replica and Fort James- now Ft Berthold Indian Reservation.. We were river rats and some summers as children we'd play Indians for people adventuring up the Missouri river by canoe.. (when people still did those things) The Missouri river even to this day the life blood of North and South Dakota.. fish, deer, buffalo, grouse Prairie Chicken, Pheasant, Duck, Geese, Fresh Water Muscles, Northern Pike and Walleye, turtles.. These people were traveling on Americas Dinner Table..

You skin the frog first, so there isn't much meat left in the footsie area, just bones & tendon.

Yes, it's much like chicken, looks white but taste more like dark meat.

This is a must watch video. Most of you probably never knew this little part of history. I had never heard of this until about 10 years ago.

“The 51 caliber barrel is rifled with 12 grooves having one turn in the length of the barrel. The magazine has a capacity of 20 lead balls. Each air-rifleman in the Austrian Army carried two spare buttstock reservoirs and four refill tubes of rifle balls.”

They ate indigenous Asiatic Negeroes and used afro for toilet paper.

Yes..... And Native Americans Sold Out Just Like The Rest Of Us Idiots~!

Wow. It takes a lot of meat to survive harsh conditions. No vegans need apply.

Wonder if they came across Indian tribes who helped them out?

Probably because they got rained on all the time. Who wants to wear clothes then?

people wanting to avoid hypothermia~?

Their running out of salt pork is mentioned in this vid.

Ancient Hawaiians ate dogs also. They were easy to transport from island to island. They could have quite a lot of dogs in a short time.

Maybe this was summertime. Not in the dead of winter. Anyway bodies adapt.

when I was out west we could catch rainbow trout everywhere so easy, did they have rainbow trout back then? that is just as good as salmon, the bears love trout

goddamn.

the chestnut blight was the greatest ecological disaster in the US history. 25% of trees in the US were chestnut trees and they dropped tons of chestnuts which were high in protein like peanuts. probably 30% or more of wildlife died off as a result.

this emerald ash borer is already one of greatest ecological disasters, it is just mowing down ash trees which are great trees but there are other varieties to replace/grow in but still. i'm just not completely sure why they only target ash trees, if they started killing other trees, that would be potentially desertification event

What Lewis and Clark Ate

To understand how difficult and physically demanding the Corps of Discovery Expedition was, you need only look at the amount of food they consumed. On July 13, 1805, Clark wrote: &#147;We eat an emensity of meat; it requires 4 deer, or an elk and a deer, or one buffaloe to supply us plentifully 24 hours.&#148; When wild game was plentiful, each man consumed up to 9 pounds of meat in one day. That&#146;s a lot of protein! Meat was vital to their diet; it helped to fill their hungry bellies and gave them the strength required to pull canoes and carry heavy loads. The types of meat that were eaten also served as a reflection of the season, terrain and climate they encountered. Bison and deer were prominent during the crossing of the Great Plains, while salmon and a starchy tuber known as wapato kept them nourished as they entered territory west of the Rocky Mountains. Fish was eaten in abundance, a favorite being the eulachon, or candlefish, which Lewis claimed to be &#147;superior to any fish&#148; he had ever tasted. At Fort Clatsop, elk was in large supply. It was served boiled, dried and roasted for breakfast, lunch and dinner. During their journey, Lewis, Clark and their fellow travelers extracted salt from seawater by way of evaporation through boiling. Salt was used as a flavor enhancer, but it was also essential in preserving meat; it helped to give their perishable meat supply a longer shelf life. 50%<

They are Beaver, lots of Beaver!

meat eaters give all sorts of reasons
to continue to fill their stomachs with dead animals
like giving lewis and clark as a good excuse to
continue to kill billions of animals
to cover up and shame and guilt of being addicted
the animal flesh and animal blood.
that heme flavor of blood.

its like saying oh, eskeeeeemoes eat mostly animals
so everyone on earth should eat animals
these fucking people have no choice but to eat meat.

we have fucking silos full of non animals foods, billions of fruit trees, most land farmed for all sorts of calorie dense food. but still these meat heads just want meat.

now these psychopaths want to only eat meat, kill more animals. just look at your fucking teeth, claws, digestive system, there is nothing that would suggest you are a dumb fucking carnivore. humans are shit scared of tackling animals and ripping their throat out. rather all humans disdain this behavior as you would cry your eyes out like a bitch.

even though there is enough non fucking dead animals food
they think killing things that dont want to die
is 100% ok.

there are fucking fruits hanging everywhere,
but the fat fuckers just look around
looking to kill

this is the fucking devil
right in front of us
and we dont even know it

this lurking type of behavior
preferring to kill things
this innate desire to murder things
preferring death just to satisfy the fucking tongue

instead of doing the hard work or farming, harvesting,
they just want to slaughter living things,
to capture, breed, jail, feed, animals just for the purpose of killing. fucking psychopathic behavior when there is plenty of food thanks to technology.
even with all the modern advancements, humans just want to kill and kill and kill.
bible says dont kill but sick men changed the wording to do not murder, so they can continue to kill animals and kill humans in war.
kill anything, everything.
probably anything that moves, humans have tasted,
even human flesh.

Why did you leave out "native Americans"

meat eaters,
especially the unthankful
fat fuckers,
with a guts bigger than a pregnant girl
who thinks god and bible allowed them to kill animals for fun

the fuckers with blood pressure high from
clogging the shit out of their body with
unnatural hardened animal cholesterol.
the ones ready to pop anytime soon.

yeah these fuckers that chant
"meat meat meat"

and repeating things like oh "sissy soy boy"
nonsense

you are the devil.
there is nothing more evil
than killing for fun.
the fun refers to your enjoyment
of tasting blood and animal flesh
the callousness of the heart knowing something died
for the purpose of entertaining your fat tongue
while there is unlimited food

meat eaters are archaic.

eating meat while there is unlimited food.

is like eating humans when there are animals.

yes people will eat humans when they are hungry

yes people will eat animals when their harvest fails

but to eat humans when there are animals
and to eat animals when there are bountiful harvest

is fucking barbaric.

Woke answer - they slaughtered their way from coast to coast

do you think humans would grow pigs in mars?
or do you think they would grow plants in mars?

what fucking psychopath would allow pigs in mars?
the math doesnt work,
why would any sane person spend 10 to get 1 back.
meat doesnt make sense ecologically.
it doesnt work in any sustainable sense.
on mars, and even in your fucking home earth.

it doesnt work in the micro sense
and it doesnt make sense in the macro sense

earth is the only planet we have
its like mars x 10000000 better.

but the fucking tongue
the fucking tongue that wants to murder
the fucking tongue that argues and fights everyone
is going to be our demise.
this urge to taste something tastier
this addiction to blood
