路易斯和克拉克探險中的熊
1805年6月15日，路易斯單獨一人外出進行探索。他決定要紮營並獵射一頭水牛。當他看著水牛倒下的同時，一頭灰熊快速的衝向他，正當路易斯抬起槍要射擊時，突然發現他的步槍尚未重新裝彈。灰熊越來越靠近，而附近根本沒有任何的樹木或灌木叢，只有一條河流。路易斯很快的衝向河流，熊仍跟在他的身後。然而當那隻熊看到站在水中的路易斯時，不知道是什麼原因使它忽然停了下來，然後朝著另一個方向跑走了。路易斯十分的幸運。經過這次事件後，他認為部隊成員(路易斯和克拉克探險隊一行人)不應該獨自一人外出。即使身在營區，他也認為大家在睡覺時應該把槍放在身邊，以防灰熊來襲。
Lewis was out scouting alone on June 15, 1805. He decided to make camp and shot a buffalo. As he was watching the buffalo fall, a grizzly bear came rushing towards him. Lewis raised his gun to shoot and then realized he had not reloaded his riffle. The bear was getting closer. There were no trees or bushes nearby, but there was a river. Lewis quickly ran into the water. The bear followed. When the bear saw Lewis in the water, for no apparent reason he stopped and ran in the other direction. Lewis was lucky. After that he thought that the Corps (Lewis and Clark's expedition party) should not go out alone. Even at camp, he thought they should sleep with their guns beside them in case of bear attacks.
