Then came the Milk, the Judith, which Clark named for his future wife, and the Marias, which Lewis named "in honour of Miss Maria W-d." though "the hue of the waters ... but illy comport with the pure celestial virtues and amiable qualifications of that lovely fair one." At night on the plains, the ground around them shook from the stomping herds of buffalo, and once a buffalo bull bellowed into their camp and trampled...
