Between 1804 and 1806, Meriweather Lewis and George Rogers Clark led an expedition of the American West.
Lewis noticed not just one but several species of sagebrush. He wrote,
“[O]f this last the A[n]telope is very fond; they feed on it, and perfume the hair of their foreheads and necks with it by rubing against it.” Sierra Club notes on Lewis and Clark expedition.















I understand the antelope’s draw to that sagebrush perfume.
That was such a good quote, I had to post it. I understand the the draw, also.
Your quote tugs – through the computer screen.
Does it ever. I had to put the quote up as soon as I came across it.
Very interesting…he wrote that so lovingly.
Yes, he did. I’ve got to go to the university library and go through the full set for quotes. By the way, I still am admiring the post you made on letter writing.
