 "E-learning Vignette" The Lewis and Clark Expedition has Gone Fish'n
For Private Silas Goodrich of Massachusetts the Lewis and Clark Expedition was a fishing trip of a lifetime, because,most of the Corps’ route followed two great river systems, the Missouri and the Columbia.

The trout Goodrich caught were more than welcome additions to the rations.
