Collections

Dear Diary, October 21st, 1804

I, Captain Clark, have been collecting various animals throughout the whole expedition. I have collected things from snakes to live animals such as prairie dogs. Now that I think about it, I am terribly ashamed of what I have done to poor seaman for killing his beloved prarie wolf. I can't imagine the agony and sorrow he had to go through seeing me skin and cut apart her flesh. I am almost ready to send off a package to president Thomas Jefferson filled with journal entries, animals live and dead, maps, observations, and many more things. I plan to send the package off in a few days, for we want as much as he wants himself to be informed about what we have encountered thus far. I plan to work with Captain Clark as well as my men to put together another package filled with many more memories, good, and bad.
