The Last Four Chapters of Lewis and Clark and ME

Have you ever read the book Lewis and Clark and Me? Well today our class read the last four chapters of Lewis and Clark and Me. The first thing you're probobly wondering is who is ME? Me is the dog, Seamen, that accompanied Lewis & Clark on there journey. The first of the four chapters is called Kidnapped! The next is called Deer the third is called My Favorite Words, and the last is Afterword.

Kidnapped is the first chapter of the four chapters that I am going to tell you about. In this chapter the dog, Seaman, gets kidnapped by the indians. I'll read a little out of it: Most of the the the men I was traveling with did not try to get back the things the Indians took. Lewis sead it wasn't worth starting an Indian fight over. Then one day, the Indians stole something that was worth fighting over. That thing was ME! I was outside the camp sniffing after a squirrl when the first Indian appered. I smelled him before I saw him but I didn't think anything of it. As you would guess they had treats for Seamon, beavor. So they put a rope around his neck and lured him towards thier camp. They almost got him too, but they heard voices and fled, but Seamon stayed put.

The next chapter is Deer. One night one of the men from the party went out to the salt lick to check for deer there was one there. This man, Sergeant Nathaniel Pryor, had killed a few deer in the last few days but this one was about twice as big as the ones he had cought before. Seamon chased him to the river then the men shot him.

The last chapter is called My Favorite Words. I'll read a little of that too: I've seen dogs with good men. And dogs with men who are just plain mean. Most dogs hope for a man they can understand. It's great when you know what you're supposed to do. Lewis knew exactly what I could do, and he let me do it. In fact, it got so that Lewis didn't have to tell me what he wanted me to do. I knew.

If you want to read the whole thing of each and every chapter, read the book! Believe me, you want to read it.
