Fort Mandan, North Dakota — John Ordway: December 11, 1804
Men set out early to retrieve horses so they could travel down to the hunting camp, collect meat, and bring everyone back to the Fort. They returned in the afternoon with horses loaded with meat. One of the hunters arriving from the camp had killed a buffalo, and the remaining hunters reported killing five buffalo in total. However, the weather was so bitterly cold that the hunters were only able to dress one of the carcasses before returning.
