Looking back at the telltale plume of smoke drifting toward the northwest on the early morning breeze of September 23, 1804, William Clark understood its meaning: the Tetons had discovered the expedition. He and Meriwether Lewis had hoped that their expedition could pass undetected through Teton territory. But it didn't. And for the following seven days and nights the expedition and the Tetons haltingly carried on a running negotiation as the three expedition boats navigated a complex course through Teton territory. Clark, the expedition's chief journalist, subsequently described the Tetons as a terrifying and treacherous people. His words shaped a negative image of the Tetons that has persisted for two centuries
