Clark: August 13, 1804
On Monday, August 13, 1804, the expedition departed at daylight as usual, traveling under a gentle southeasterly breeze and passing an island. From their previous campsite, called Fish Camp, the river stretched N 55° West as far as the eye could see, with sandbars shaping the direction of the current. The hills receded from the river on the left side. The day's entry is brief, recording steady progress and noting the geography of the surrounding landscape.
