Mandan villages, Charbonneau family stays — John Ordway: August 19, 1806
High winds delayed the party's travel for much of the day. Hunters went out and killed five elk and ten deer. Around 4 P.M., the wind eased somewhat and the group proceeded downriver, stopping to take aboard the best of the meat from earlier kills found below. They made camp at dark in cold, windy conditions.
