Mouth of Kansas River — Joseph Whitehouse: June 28, 1804
The party halted at the mouth of the Kansas River, which they measured at 230 yards wide, with the river broadening to about 400 yards a little farther on. The hunters had a successful day, killing five deer and one wolf. They also captured a young wolf, estimated to be about five months old, and kept it for three days. However, the wolf chewed through its rope and escaped.
