Fort Mandan (winter) — John Ordway: January 13, 1805
Hunting parties were active as game grew scarce, prompting frequent visits from Native people seeking food. The expedition members welcomed them as best they could despite the intrusions. In the evening, Mr. Charbonneau arrived with horses loaded down with grease, fat, and meat, providing a welcome resupply for the post during this lean stretch of winter.
