Crossing the snowclad Bitterroot Mountains' Lolo Trail, they ran out of food in the wilderness, in desperation ate their horses to keep alive. Emerging on the western slope, in Idaho's Weippe Prairie, they gorged on camas bulbs (which made them sick) and dog meat (which they found surprisingly good).
