Clark: December 3, 1804
On a fine but later cold and windy Monday with northwest winds, the expedition received a visit from the father of a Mandan man who had been killed. He brought gifts of dried squash and a small amount of pemmican. In return, Clark and his party gave him several small presents, with which he was very pleased. The brief entry records no other significant activities or decisions for the day at the wintering site near the Mandan villages.
