Clark: February 2, 1805
On a fine Saturday in early February 1805 at Fort Mandan, the party recorded a relatively quiet day. One deer was killed, providing some food. The expedition's interpreter remained unwell, and one of the wives of the Hidatsa (Big Belly) interpreter also fell sick. Mr. Larocque, a clerk for the North West Company who had been eager to join the expedition westward, departed from the camp that day.
