Lewis and Clark in Lemhi County

The salmon runs that fed the Lemhi Shoshone in summer had almost ended: it was time to leave for the fall buffalo hunt on the Missouri River. Cameaghwait and his people would hunt with their allies, the Montana Salish, for mutual defense against enemies like the Blackfeet.
Their baggage loaded on horses bought from the Lemhis, the members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition started north on the overland portion of their journey. They faced weeks of fatigue, exposure, and hunger.
And though the Lemhi Shoshone would return to their valley home, the Corps of Discovery would find better routes elsewhere.

"A party of the (Shoshone) Indians that we were with, set out with their Horses to go over on the Mesouri (sic) after Buffalo, about 10 A.M. we set out, having all our horses (excepting 2) loaded with our baggage..." - Joseph Whitehouse, August 30, 1805
