Missouri River near White River — Joseph Whitehouse: September 17, 1804
Captain Lewis and several members of the expedition went out hunting and returned with a substantial haul: 13 common deer, 2 black-tailed deer, 1 goat, and 3 buffalo. Whitehouse notes that the goats in this region differ from those in the States, having longer ears and coarser hair. Drouillard caught a beaver and killed a prairie wolf, which the party observed to be larger than a fox.
