Clark: January 31, 1805
Snow fell overnight and a strong northwest wind made for a cold, disagreeable day at the winter camp. Clark performed surgery on a young boy, sawing off his frostbitten toes. Five men were sent downriver with two horses to hunt. The interpreter was reported as somewhat improved in health. George Drouillard had been struck with pleurisy the previous evening and was treated by bleeding and given sage tea, leaving him much better by morning.
