John Colter was one of the most interesting men in the Expedition. I always thought it was interesting that he didn't want to go back to the civilization of the East when the Lewis and Clark trip was over.

Post by: washelkhunter on February 23, 2012, 10:41:18 PM: docsven. its not that he didnt want to go back to st.louis its that he got a job offer. can you imagine. i think he must have only been 22 yo when the expedition returned to the mandan camp on the missouri river. he was only 18 when he signed on i believe. its unbelievable. he was on the down hill slide, he was safe, they has essentially made it, he was looking at gas lights, whiskey, women, real food, everything civilization had to offer west of the miss was in st.louis and he went back to the mtns. what kind of man does that?

We do, every fall with our bows & arrows, muskets or riflles to hopefully go where no man has gone before. :tup:

Its the same thing that was said when they reburried Johnson. But how many can see a headstone in the middle of a field?
At least they can be seen, recognized, and honored, what they wanted in their passing. :twocents:
