Clark: January 11, 1805
On a very cold Friday, Clark sent three men out to join three others already hunting downriver. Two Mandan chiefs visited and stayed the night: Black Cat (Pose-cop-se-ha) and Coal (Sho-sa-har-ro-ra). The interpreter's eldest wife was sick. Some of the expedition's men crossed the river to observe a war medicine ceremony being performed at the village on the opposite side.
