My favorite quote from that page:

​

The last time the air gun made the journals was Monday, 11 August 1806, the day Cruzatte mistook the buckskin-clad Lewis for an elk and shot him in the buttocks.[15] Immediately suspecting a hostile Indian attack, Lewis hobbled back to the white perogue and, he wrote, “prepared my self with a pistol my rifle and airgun being determined as a retreat was impracticable to sell my life as deerly as possible.” At last, he was prepared to use the weapon for the main purpose it may originally have been designed to serve not merely for show, nor for hunting, but for man-to-man combat. It was a false alarm, of course. Lewis documented the incident in detail, conceding at last, “I do not beleive that the fellow did it intentionally.” ​

Peace favor your sword,
Kirk

Meriwether was an alleged princess. His gravesite is a short ride from here in Lewis County.

The first PCP air rifle. Don't let any law-making liberals know about this, they'd want to put it on the assault rifle list to ban.

So one guy says he was a twink (something he would have needed to keep hidden and could have gotten him killed) and you're OK with that, but another guy says he was a bit racist (quite common at the time) and you have a problem with it? Way to look at the past through 2022 colored glasses.

Like a lot of Lib's now a days...You too fit the bill. And by the way...'everyone' is racist'. If they deny it, they lie or join the ..don't offend club.
