I was born in the state of Pennsylvania, but no record of my birth was ever found or documented, so I'm not quite sure of what exact day and what year I was born in. I was enlisted to be a part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition on October 26, 1803 in Clarksville, Indiana by Captain William Clark; I was listed among the "Nine Young Men from Kentucky". I thought that was a small bit humorous. I'm a skilled hunter and woodsman, which shows that I can bring quality skills to this expedition. I'm one of two fiddle players who are enlisted in the Corps, the other is Private Pierre Cruzatte, I speak a small amount of Sign Language, and I can translate a few things in the Indians' native languages. I chose to participate in this expedition because I was great help when it came to translating the Indians' languages for the Expedition Team. I was enlisted into the expedition on October 19, 1803, at the Falls of the Ohio. I left the expedition during 1807 when I was wounded by the Arikara Indians when I was trying to return to the Mandan lands to speak with the chief, Sheheke.
(FORESHADOWING)
I died of completely un-known causes in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1809, just three years after the Expedition ended. This was during a move to St. Louis in January of 1809 with my wife, who was from Louisville, Kentucky.
