Clark: July 5, 1805
Warm, sultry weather with light winds prevailed at the camp. Around 8 a.m., Clark spotted a large herd of buffalo and led several men in pursuit, but unfavorable winds prevented a close approach. The scattered hunting party still managed to kill three buffalo, two wolves, and three antelope, bringing back skins and some meat. Captain Lewis remained busy working on the iron-frame leather boat. Three men traveled to view the falls and reported large numbers of buffalo on both sides of the river. Many young blackbirds were also observed.
