Old Toby

A Shoshone guide they called Old Toby, and his son, camped with the Corps for a couple of nights when they had very little food.  He had warned Lewis and Clark that farther up in the mountains game would be hard to find.  So while some people tried to fix some of the clothing others would go hunting.  Most likely while they did that Sacagawea had sewing and laundry to do for her family.  As the Corps went up the mountain they found that Old Toby was right. The game was scarce.  Old Toby led the party astray several difficult miles before getting them on the right trail again.
