Seaman layed on his masters grave when he died and did not get up to eat any kind of food and he died on his masters grave.

I remember reading a story (in a book called Actual Factuals for Kids) which was about a real dog who did almost the same thing (the difference is that the actual dog didn't starve himself, but merely refused to eat food anywhere else but right next to his master's grave, and his owner was a police officer if I remember correctly). The dog in question was not Seaman, obviously, but it might be interesting to have an article about him if a source can be found. Stonemason89 (talk) 22:54, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the link to "bier" in the article is appropriate, as the target article defines a bier as a stand on which a corpse or coffin is placed. I highly doubt Lewis was talking about being confined to that kind of bier by the mosquitoes; this would make no sense unless Lewis was dead. Does anyone know what Lewis was actually referring to? If I had to guess, I would say he was talking about beer (this would make a little bit more sense; the mosquitoes are biting him so badly that he has to get drunk to make the pain go away). Was that it? Stonemason89 (talk) 23:00, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't seem likely. Lewis and Clark became extremely angry at an Indian tribe once because they believed the tribe had eaten Seaman (which they had not done, but may have been planning to do). It was the only time during the entire expedition when actual violence broke out. Stonemason89 (talk) 22:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
