Clark: January 9, 1805
On a bitterly cold Wednesday, with the thermometer reading 21 degrees below zero, many Indians traveled out to hunt buffalo. The chief known as Little Crow ate breakfast with the expedition party. Several Indians stopped at the fort nearly frozen from the cold. One man arrived in distress, reporting that he had sent his young son ahead to the fort around 3 o'clock but could not find the boy there. The latter part of the day grew even colder, with a sharp, keen wind.
