Clark: September 8, 1804
The expedition set out early under a gentle southeast breeze. After three miles they passed the Pania house, where a man named Troodo had wintered in 1796, with high hills rising on the south side and recently burned hills visible to the north. They passed three small islands, and Captain Lewis killed a buffalo in the river. The party camped on Boat Island, where they jerked the day's meat: two buffalo, two elk, four deer, three turkeys, and a squirrel. Clark rejoined the boat at camp and noted the south-side country as poor and broken.
