Introduction: The book I read was Lewis and Clark Among the Indians: By James P. Rhonda. It included a lot of other information that helped me understand Lewis and Clarks view towards the Indians.

Lewis’ statement through Jill that Susan has become interested in nothing “except nylons and lipstick and invitations” (Lewis 169)‚ taken as evidence that Susan was rejected because she came into her femininity and sexuality.
