link to some of the real history of this story

Very useful history.

In the original story, we can see 200 wagons followed Meek and that the Indian did in fact lead them to water. So there's your answer, if you want to apply it to this movie, which like all movies, is fiction.

Thank you for that link.

I am serious,and don't call me Shirley

You can see why the "any resemblance to persons living or dead" disclaimer was used here, even though Stephen Meek, the Tetherows, and the Native American guide, were real.
