Mouth of Kansas River — Charles Floyd: June 30, 1804
The expedition departed very early in the morning and spotted a wolf on the sandbar. They passed the Little Platte River on the north side, noting it to be about 100 yards wide with clear water and high land along its lower side. The river was said to have several falls suitable for powering mills. The surrounding land was rolling, and the party camped on the south side, where the land was low, similar to the terrain on the north side.
