Answer:

June 1805

(Sacagawea)

Dear Diary:

Today I realized that Everybody likes Sacagawea on the expedition. I noticed how Clark was so fond of her that he offered to educate her little boy. The soldiers look at her with admiration. Early in the moning we had an encounter with the Shoshone in western Montana she kept cool in the moment of crises and She was useful as a translator. Time for luch some edible greens and roots in the High Plains that Sacagawea spotted.

(Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Clark)

Dear Diary:

Today We learned Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Clark are good leaders. Two weeks ago we got lost. We came to a fork in the Missouri at the Mandan´s villages that was not mentioned. We have maps of the lower Missouri but not beyond. There was doubt about which river was the Missouri. Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Clark had sent separate reconnaissance expeditions. They decided the south fork was the true Missouri, Every one disagreed but we followed them anyway because they are good leaders and in the end they were right.

(York, Captain Clark´s slave)

Dear Diary:

Today we ate dog for the first time.. York, Captain Clark´s slave, ate happily while the rest of us just hardly managed to swallow it.

Early this morning we met some tribesmen who were terrified at York´s black skin. They thought he was the devil and had come back to haunt them.
