Did any injuries happen on the Lewis and Clark expedition?
At one point, Clark suffered from a “rheumatism of the neck” which caused him pain for several days. For Clark, Lewis applied a “hot stone wrapped in flannel” to help ease his pain. Then Lewis was accidentally shot in the left thigh by a near-blind member of the expedition, but managed to make it back safely. Another man, Sergeant Charles Floyd died from a burst appendix, and he was the only to have died on the expedition.
