"We had high and boisterous winds last night and this morning: the Indians continue to purchase repairs with grain of different kinds"
- Meriwether Lewis
About this Quote
This quote by Meriwether Lewis is a description of the weather he and his team experienced during their exploration. The high and energetic winds indicate that the weather condition was most likely stormy and rough. The fact that the Indians were still able to buy repairs with grain of different kinds suggests that the storm did not trigger too much disturbance to their every day lives. This could be due to the fact that the Indians were used to handling such weather, or because the storm was not as serious as it could have been. It is also possible that the Indians had access to resources that permitted them to continue their activities despite the storm. This quote provides insight into the durability of the Native Americans and their ability to adjust to their environment.
