Near Platte River, Council Bluffs area — Joseph Whitehouse: July 27, 1804
On a cloudy morning, the party readied the boat and set out around 1 PM, traveling along high wooded land on the south side. George Shannon killed a deer, and they passed a prairie on the south side along with many sandbars on a very crooked stretch of river. After making about 15 miles, they camped on the bank of a high prairie within a grove of cottonwoods. The two men accompanying the horses did not rejoin the group that night.
