Arrived at Bruno's Island 3 miles below halted a few minutes. went on shore and being invited on by some of the gentlemen present to try my airgun which I had purchased brought it on shore charged it and fired myself seven times fifty five yards with pretty good success; after which a Mr. Blaze Cenas being unacquainted with the management of the gun suffered her to discharge herself accedentaly the ball passed through the hat of a woman about 40 yards distance cutting her temple about the fourth of the diameter of the ball; she fell instantly and the blood gushing from her temple we were all in the greatest consternation supposed she was dead by [but] in a minute she revived to our enespressable satisfaction, and by examination we found the wound by no means mortal or even dangerous; called the hands aboard and proceeded to a ripple of McKee's rock* where we were obleged to get out all hands and lift the boat over about thirty yards; the river is extremely low; said to be more so than it has been known for four years; about [blank] we passed another ripple near [erasure] Past another bear or ripple with more difficulty than either of the others halted for the night much fatigued after labouring with my men all day- the water being sufficiently temperate was much in our favor; gave my men some whiskey and retired to rest at 8 OClock-"

William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). They then named their team the "Corps of Discovery."
At which point did Lewis and Clark first cross the Continental Divide?

What are two adjectives that describe the Lewis and Clark expedition?

The expedition, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark from 1804 to 1806, was groundbreaking in its exploration of the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory. The journey was also incredibly challenging, as the explorers faced harsh weather conditions, difficult terrain, and encounters with Native American tribes.
