It would take a substantial amount of fire to cook that much meat (30 X 12 = 360 pounds) AND at least four hours for the cooking. Plus at least four hours for the eating. Farther on, he says that the band of Indian Chiefs en route to Washington, D. C. ate Nine Pounds of meat daily --------- each. Comments ?

Since I have read the Journals of Lewis and Clark (the complete unabridged set, no less!) it will be interesting to see Ambrose's vision of Lewis. Looking forward to more book reviews! :-) I just picked this up at the Goodwill on Saturday.
