George Drouillard
civilian interpreter, scout, hunter, and cartographer,
George Drouillard (1773–1810) is a civilian interpreter, scout, hunter, and cartographer, hired at the age of thirty for Lewis and Clark's Voyage of Discovery to explore the territory of the Louisiana Purchase in 1804–1806, in search of a water route to the Pacific Ocean.
He later works as a guide and trapper for Manuel Lisa on the upper Missouri River, joining his Missouri Fur Company in 1809.
Drouillard is believed to have been killed in what is now the state of Montana while trapping beaver, in an attack by the Blackfeet or Gros Ventre tribes.
