Fort Mandan (winter) — Joseph Whitehouse: January 18, 1805
The day brought clear, cold weather at the fort. Two of the expedition's hunters returned with a substantial haul, having killed four deer, four wolves, and one badger-like animal the men called a brarow. Two traders affiliated with the North West Company, which operated out of the Gros Ventres villages, visited the fort that day. The traders informed the expedition that the brarow they had been encountering was actually a species of badger, similar to those commonly found in Europe.
