Missouri River near Arrow Rock — Joseph Whitehouse: June 24, 1804
The expedition set out in the morning and crossed to the west shore of the river. Around noon they stopped to jerk their meat because the weather was very warm. They passed a stream called Straw Hill on the west side, with high land on both sides of the river. No Indians had appeared along the route. The hunters killed eight deer, one shot from aboard the white pirogue. After traveling 13 miles, the party camped at Hard Scrabble Prairie.
