Nez Perce camps, reuniting with horses — John Ordway: May 11, 1806
Several ailing Native people came to the captains seeking medical treatment, and Captain Clark applied medicine and did all he could to help them. In gratitude, one of the Indians presented Clark with a fine horse. Hunter George Drouillard returned to camp having killed two deer, and the Indians brought in several more of the expedition's horses. That evening the men played the fiddle and danced for a while, drawing a crowd of curious Native onlookers.
