No link to audio. This happens now & then, & it is always annoying.

The only member of the expedition to die was Sergeant Charles Floyd of Kentucky, probably of acute appendicitis.

Outside of Bozeman, Montana, heading into/towards the Bridger Mpuntains, there is a site where the expedition camped., probably up Kelly Canyon.

For a very readable record of the trip: Those Tremendous Mountains: The Story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition by David Freeman Hawke.
