Soul Stance River - 32

There is no doubt that we are remaining here for the winter but the fort sight must be chosen prudently to ensure health, food supply and defense, three options exist, all with inherent advantages and disadvantages, the only reason why we are here now, with no fatalities aside from Flyod and alive with success is because we have risked our lives for eachother, so Will and I agree that a democratic vote will be had to commemorate the cohesion, discipline, and sacrifice of all, the majority is in favor of fortifying on a small river off the bayline, York and Sacagawea also had their votes recognized perhaps his portends the politics of our nation's future, let it be known that with us, as Captains and men merit means more than race or sex, justice be fair to those who bleed, J.A.B.

A groundbreaking moment in American history which meant so much to me to express with moral clarity and eloquence. Lewis and Clark were, amongst other virtues, fair and also visionaries Laura...J.A.B.
