Historical Figure
Joseph Whitehouse
Private Joseph Whitehouse was one of the enlisted journal-keepers of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, producing a detailed account that provides perspectives sometimes missing from the officers' journals. His journal, discovered in the early 20th century, offers valuable observations about daily expedition life, encounters with Native peoples, and the landscape of the American West from the viewpoint of an ordinary soldier. Whitehouse was a tailor by trade and was responsible for making and repairing leather clothing and moccasins throughout the journey.
