The Hunger Of The Core

September 3, 1805

Near the beginning of the expedition the core was eating elk, deer, buffalo, and birds. The men were used to eating six pounds of meat everyday. We are now in the terrible mountains were there is scant of the meat that the Expedition is used to. It was a shame that the roots that we had to eat didn't agree with the men's stomachs and the all complained and ached.
