Joseph Whitehouse: June 13, 1805

a beautiful pleasant morning. we Set out at an eairly hour
& proceeded on. passed the Mouth of a Small River on the
South Side about 50 yards wide & rapid current & of a
muddy coulour. I went over the River to See it. large bot-
toms of cotton timber for Some distance up. we named it
Snowey River, as we expect it comes from the Snowey Moun-
tain, to the South of us. passed verry high bluffs on each Side
Some Small bottoms of cotton timber we Saw abundance of
wild or choke cherries & a kind of yallow current, Such as I
never Saw before. the Goose berrys are now ripe & abound
in the River bottoms. we came 14 miles to day & Camped
on the South Side. I was taken verry Sick to day, & a violent
head ack. 2 deer & [word illegible] buffalow killed to day.
