How about some pictures of his route from camp to the Pacific, alone apparently, and the place from where he saw it? I wish we had a picture of the Great Falls statue (Lewis, Clark, York, and dog Seaman). It would be great and I can't find a free picture. Can you? My brother-in-law lives near Great Falls and I can ask him. deisenbe (talk) 10:10, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

I found a picture from the National Park Service. It's not great but it's a lot better than nothing. deisenbe (talk) 23:34, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

New source

Not sure much can be taken from the interview, but perhaps we should at least include in the External links section?

Please don't collapse my formatted citations

I don't know if you would, but I've been surprised too many times. A pet peeve. Thanks. deisenbe (talk) 10:02, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
