Clark: November 19, 1804
On a cold Monday with ice running in the river, the hunting party returned by pirogue with a substantial haul of 32 deer, 12 elk, and a buffalo, all of which was hung in a smokehouse as a timely supply of meat. Strong winds blew from the northwest by west, and several Indians visited throughout the day. The men moved into their newly built huts. Clark also noted being told several small Indian anecdotes during the day.
