I teach because a teacher can play with everything from archaeology to entomology, from statistics to research, from history of the machine to history of space. We can read it all, learn it all, do it all, teach it all. But the best part is that while doing it, we get more hugs per day than any other profession!

Lewis & Clark Expedition
Lewis and Clark Journals of 1804

Today the morning star was much larger than before.

G. Drewyer came up and informed that he could neither find Shannon nor horses, we Sent Sheilds & J Fields, back to hunt Shannon & the horses.

There was a gentle breeze out and we passed the White Clay Marl. A large of the stone seemed to made up of lime with a trace of cobalt in it. It resembled slate but was much softer than slate.

Three Indians informed us that there was a camp of Sioux near the mouth of the Jacque river. We sent Mr. Dorion, the Sioux interpreter, to invite the chiefs to the Sioux nation to our council. The third Indian that stayed with us was of the Mohair nation and told us that the Mohair were going to make peace with the Pawnee tribe.

This evening was pleasant and cool and the river was slowly sinking lower.

- William Clark, Aug 27, 1804
