Clark: September 29, 1805
On a cool Saturday morning with a southwest wind, the expedition continued building canoes despite widespread illness among the men. Every man able to work did so, while Drouillard killed two deer and Colter brought in another to help feed the party. The afternoon turned warm. Captain Lewis was very sick, and most of the men complained of severe stomach and bowel troubles, an ongoing affliction since the group had descended from the Bitterroot Mountains into Nez Perce country.
