WELL THE LEWIS AND CLARK
FESTIVAL REALLY SHOWCASES WHAT
LIFE WAS LIKE BACK IN 1805-1806,
WHEN LEWIS AND CLARK CAME
THROUGH THE GREAT FALLS AREA IN
1806 AND 1806 WHEN THEY WERE ON
THEIR WAY BACK, BUT WE TALKED
ABOUT JUST HOW THEY NAVIGATED,
THE CLOTHES THEY WORE, THE FOOD
THEY ATE, HOW THEY COOKED WHEN
THEY WERE ON EXPEDITION.
