William Clark
That night's camp, per the NPS campsite reconstruction (Bergantino): Fort Mandan, ND (left shore)
A bitterly cold day at Fort Mandan, with temperatures well below zero. The men stayed close to the fort, tending fires and maintaining equipment. Trade with the Mandan and Hidatsa continued, as the expedition relied on Native generosity during the harsh Dakota winter.
