Being a survival & preparedness site, I thought it might be interesting to look at this. Maybe we can learn a thing or two from it? https://modernsurvivalblog.com/lessons-from-history/lewis-clark-expedition-list/

By all means, read "Undaunted Courage" by Ambrose.

He took some literary license, I realize, and some of his descriptions of techniques are less than accurate, but for the most part he uses the actual journal entries to describe the trek.
Very interesting, and should be required reading for all the Jeremiah Johnson Bugout To The Wilderness Boys.
