Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — John Ordway: June 3, 1806

a number of the natives visited us. three of our hunters came in
had killed five deer and one black bear, my horse that I wrode
over to the kinooenim river nearly failed and his back verry sore
and poor & in low Spirits and as luck would have it an Indian
brought me a large good strong horse and Swaped with me as he
knew my horse to be good when in order to run the buffaloe which
is their main object to git horses that will run and Swap their
best horses for Servis, for them that will run if they are not half
as good as otherways.
