Clark: November 25, 1804
On a warm, pleasant Sunday, Captain Lewis set out with two interpreters and six men to visit Indian towns and camps in the area. Work continued on covering and daubing the huts, which were completed that day. Two chiefs visited Clark, including Wau-ke-res-sa-ra, a Big Belly and the first of his nation to come to the fort; Clark gave them gifts such as a handkerchief, paint, and a saw band. Several men suffered bad colds, and the river fell an inch and a half.
