Clark: March 24, 1805
On a fair Saturday morning, after breakfast, the captains saw off Mr. La Rocque, Mr. McKenzie, and the Hidatsa (Minetarra) chiefs and men who had been visiting Fort Mandan. Shortly afterward, a brother of the Borgne arrived and provided a vocabulary of his language. The Coal and several other Mandans also came by during the day. The weather, pleasant in the morning, turned to a light rain in the evening—the first rainfall recorded that winter.
