Clark: October 4, 1805
On a cool morning with an east wind, Clark refused an Indian a piece of tobacco that the man had taken from their sack, causing offense. Three Indians from the large river to the south came to visit. Frazer and Goodrich returned late from the village with fish, roots, and other goods they had purchased. With their horse already eaten, the party subsisted on dried fish and roots, which upset their stomachs. The afternoon turned very warm. Captain Lewis remained ill but could walk a little.
