Missouri River near Soldier River — Charles Floyd: August 6, 1804
The party set out early in the morning and continued upriver, passing Soldiers Creek on the north side, which entered behind an island. Around midnight the previous night, a violent windstorm with rain had struck from the northwest. They camped on the south side of the river. Floyd noted that the land along the south bank was low, and the land on the north side was similar in character.
