Lewis & Clark on the Marias

[@arailway8809]

This is a beautiful review of Lewis' activities in the Marias country. Mr. Epstein and Mr. Ambrose cover it well.

Larry is married to Callie Halverson, and they live in Essex Mt. Right above the middle fork of the Flathead River. I used to run with Callie's younger brother Rick (RIP). I slept on their couch in Missoula in 1975 Arbor day, after I gave up my bed to a overly intoxicated friend. Good Montana people.

well done sir. Hope to meet you in person some day. I once floated down the Marias two days in a 26' voyageur canoe with other 'free trappers',.. taking out near the Loma Rt. 87 Bridge

WRONG! Per U.S. Army the rifles Capt. Lewis procured at Harper's Ferry were contract rifles shorted and slings added at Capt. Lewis's request. The Harper's Ferry 1803 rifle did not start production till after he had left. The .69 cal. musket ball is about the size of a dime, not a quarter. The .54 cal. Rifle slug was even smaller. .
