Karl Bodmer - Karl Bodmer Karl Bodmer February 6, 1809-October 30, 1893, Swiss painter of the American West.

Christoph Martin Wieland - ambitious work, Die Natur der Dinge (1752), a didactic poem in six books. In 1750 he went to the University of Tübingen as a student of law, but his time was mainly taken up with literary studies. The poems he wrote at the university--Hermann, an epic (published by F Muncker, 1886), Zwölf moralische Briefe in Versen (1752), Anti-Ovid (1752)--are pietistic in tone and dominated by the influence of Klopstock. They attracted the attention of the Swiss literary reformer, JJ Bodmer, who invited Wieland to visit him in Zürich in the summer of 1752. After a few months, however, Bodmer felt himself as little in sympathy with Wieland as, two years earlier, he had felt himself with Klopstock, and the friends parted; but Wieland remained in Switzerland until 1760, spending the last.
Toussaint Charbonneau - however, made several contributions to the success of the expedition. He was helpful when the expedition encountered French trappers from Canada, and he also served as a cook; his recipe for bodin blanc (a sausage made from bison meat) was praised by several members of the party. Additionally, his skill in striking a bargain came in very handy at the Shoshone encampment where the expedition acquired much-need horses. William Clark was particularly taken with young Jean Baptiste (whom he nicknamed "Pomp"), and by extension the entire Charbonneau family, including Toussaint. Despite having had to reprimand him with regard to his duties (October 27, 1805) and having intervened in a marital dispute in which Charbonneau hit his wife (August 14 of that year), Clark nevertheless offered to set Charbonneau's family up comfortably.

The boy varied the monotony of his studies by pranks which revealed his unbalanced character, including an attempt to raise spirits with the aid of Dr Faust's Höllenzwang.
