    The Lewis and Clark expedition resonates because it's not just a white man's army, but rather a group of people from many different racial, ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds-a human community as diverse as any in America today. Consider York, William Clark's slave and fellow adventurer, or Pierre Cruzatte, the one-eyed fiddle player, who was part French and part Omaha Indian. There was German-born Pvt. John Potts, a miller by trade and a soldier most likely by necessity. Here is Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman who spent formative years with the Hidatsa Indians, and Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, a child of mixed Shoshone-French ancestry. Imagine the sounds around the campfire: William Clark's Virginia-Kentucky drawl, Sgt. John Ordway's New Hampshire inflections, George Drouillard's Shawnee-flavored French, and the cries and first words of Jean Baptiste, the baby born to Sacagawea on the trip. This is the crazy quilt that was and is America.
