Bears on the Lewis and Clark Expedition

Courtesy of the Library of Congress

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are best known for their expedition from the Mississippi River to the West Coast and back. The expedition, called the Corps of Discovery, was President Thomas Jefferson's visionary project to explore the American West. It began in May of 1804 and ended in September 1806. On their journey, Lewis and Clark have many interesting experiences with both people and animals.

It was the largest bear they'd ever seen, a great grizzly bear that weighed an estimated 600 pounds. A "most tremendous looking animal, and extremely hard to kill," wrote Lewis in his journal on May 5, 1805. Clark described the grizzly as "very large and a terrible looking animal." Clark and another member of the expedition fired 10 shots at it before it died.

Several tribes of Native Americans had told Lewis and Clark about grizzly bears. The tribes would only attack these great bears if there were 6-10 people in their hunting party, and even then the bears would sometimes kill one of them. The first grizzlies Lewis saw during the expedition were two somewhat smaller bears. He and another hunter had easily killed one of them. That day Lewis wrote in his journal that although the Native Americans with their bows and arrows might be vulnerable to bears, the grizzlies were no match for highly skilled riflemen. He soon changed his mind when he found himself alone and easy prey.

Lewis was out scouting 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 toward him. Lewis raised his gun to shoot and then realized he had not reloaded his rifle and there was no one there to help him. 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 unclear about why the bear left, but he knew he was lucky! After that he thought that the Corps (Lewis and Clark's expedition party) should not go out alone. Even at camp, he insisted they should sleep with their guns beside them in case of sudden bear attacks.

Bears seemed to be everywhere! Bears chased members of the Corps through the woods, into bushes, and into the water on several occasions. On July 15, 1806, Hugh McNeal was out alone on horseback. All of a sudden he saw a grizzly bear in the bushes. His horse bucked and threw McNeal in proximity to the bear. The bear raised itself up to attack. What could McNeal do at such close range? He hit the bear with his gun. The bear was temporarily stunned and fell down. McNeal quickly climbed out of reach in the branches of a nearby tree. Because of their large size and straight claws, grizzly bears aren't good tree climbers, so the bear waited at the base of the tree. And waited. And waited. Finally just before dark, the bear gave up and left. McNeal climbed down and made it back to camp safely.

By the end of the expedition Lewis believed that the Corps had been very lucky to not lose anyone to a grizzly bear. He wrote that "the hand of providence has been most wonderfully in our favor."

PLease HELP 99 points Tribute to the Dog
by George Graham Vest
George Graham Vest (1830¬–1904) was an attorney and U.S. Senator who was known as one of the greatest public speakers and debaters of his time.. This speech is Graham’s closing argument in a case in which he represented a man who was suing another man for killing his dog. Graham’s impactful statement helped to win the case.
Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death...................................................................
Why do you think Graham’s statement was so “impactful?” Make sure to include evidence to support your opinion. Your answer should be one paragraph (6-8 sentences).

What is the purpose of this excerpt from a speech about science fiction?
When it comes to literature, most people do not take science fiction seriously. They equate science fiction with fantastical stories about aliens,
zombies, time travel, or other futuristic inventions. This dismissal is a serious mistake. Science fiction is actually a fertile breeding ground for
hypotheses, or educated guesses, about the future of mankind.
If this claim sounds a little grandiose, you should consider the fact that almost a hundred years before the first astronauts landed on the moon, a
writer named Jules Verne described a lunar voyage and actually got a lot of the scientific details right. In addition, roughly 30 years before the
invention of the atom bomb, author H.G. Wells' The World Set Free described how atomic power could be harnessed to create an explosive
device. Additionally, long before DNA testing was invented, Arthur C. Clarke wrote about how DNA studies would allow doctors to establish who
the father of a child was. What do all of these writers have in common? They are all science-fiction writers!
O A to entertain the audience by describing the plots of science fiction novels
B.
to persuade the audience to add science fiction novels to their reading lists
O C.
to inform the audience about the scientific knowledge of science-fiction writers
to convince the audience that science fiction is the highest-quality form of fiction
O D.
