路易斯和克拉克遇見休休尼人 (Shoshone)

雖然休休尼人歡迎路易斯的來訪,但卻有存疑。他們最近才剛遭另一部落襲擊。當路易斯要求他們一起前去會見其他的探險隊成員時,休休尼人擔心路易斯可能會要帶他們入陷阱。最後,路易斯終於說服了他們一同前去,但當他們回到集合地時,克拉克及其他的成員尚未抵達,所以他們只好在原地等待。

休休尼人很緊張,因為他們不想被伏擊。路易斯也很緊張。因為他一定要取得馬匹,否則部隊就無法完成他們的探險任務。假如克拉克及其他人不趕快出現,休休尼人就會帶著他們的馬兒離開了。


Although the Shoshone welcomed Lewis, they were suspicious. They had recently been raided by another tribe. When Lewis asked them to travel to meet the rest of his expedition party, the Shoshone worried that Lewis might be leading them into a trap. Eventually Lewis convinced them. But when they got to the meeting place, Clark and the others had not yet arrived. So they waited.

The Shoshone were nervous. They didn't want to be ambushed. Lewis was nervous. He had to get horses or the Corps wouldn't be able to finish the expedition. If Clark and the others didn't show up soon, the Shoshone would leave and take their horses with them.
