Clark: September 22, 1806
Heavy rain kept the party sheltered at Mr. Proulx's house through the morning, and Clark used the time to write letters to friends in Kentucky and elsewhere. When the rain stopped at 10 A.M., the group set out and traveled down to the cantonment at Coldwater Creek, about three miles up the Missouri on its southern bank. There they were warmly received by Colonel Hunt, Lieutenant Peters, and a company of artillerists, and honored with a gun salute. Mrs. Wilkinson was found in delicate health. A public store at the post reportedly held $60,000 in Indian goods.
