SPOILER ALERT
What did they eat on the way home after they lost the wagon?
They knew there were no food sources en route which is why they packed side meat and beans for the trip there and dried meat and fish for the journey home. But they kept them in the wagon (Charley retrieves some at one point). What did they eat after the disastrous river crossing?
I know it’s a trivial point but there is so much attention paid to these kinds of details throughout the book that I can’t stop wondering about this.
