Clark: February 17, 1805
On a mild, partly cloudy Sunday that turned fair in the afternoon, Clark received visitors at the fort. The Mandan chief known as the Coal came with his son, bringing about thirty pounds of dried buffalo meat and some tallow. Clark was also visited by Mr. McKenzie, a clerk of the North West Company; one of the horses recently stolen by the Sioux belonged to him. No major decisions or actions were recorded for the day.
