Clark: January 19, 1805
On a fine Saturday, traders Larocque and McKenzie departed for home after their visit. Clark sent three horses down to the hunting camp to retrieve the meat the hunters had killed. In a domestic incident at the fort, the wife of the interpreter Jusseaume left him and went to the nearby village. The brief entry records routine winter activities at Fort Mandan, including provisioning, interactions with North West Company traders, and the daily lives of the interpreters and their families.
