Lewis & Clark's Fiesty Niece
Fort Clatsop in Astoria, Oregon is a wonderfully-recreated replica of Lewis & Clark's winter camp from 1805-06. While at Fort Clatsop the men, (and woman) of the Corps or Discovery lamented the weather, made salt, and hunted for elk with black powder muskets like the one fired by costumed interpreters at the monument today. Here, a young female interpreter readies the musket for firing. With the exception of her modern earplugs and gender, the scene was historically accurate.
