Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Online    (8913 words)
Clark seems to have suspected that the men sent from Tennessee, at least, were picked on the time-honored principle of getting rid of those who could best be spared by their original unit (see Clark's entry, December 22, 1803).
Clark refers to him as a corporal on December 26, 1803, but in subsequent references where rank is given he is a private; apparently he was demoted for some reason.
Clark refers to him during the expedition as "a valuable member of our party." His postexpedition career is equally obscure; Clark listed him in 1825–28 as "killed." Speculation places him with John McClellan's expedition in the Rockies in 1807.
