Missouri River near Niobrara River — Joseph Whitehouse: September 5, 1804
On September 5, 1804, the expedition took a cedar mast on board and sent hunters out as they continued under sail. They passed Goat Creek on the north side, where beavers had built a dam across its mouth, and noted attractive mineral springs further along the north bank. The hunting party returned successful, having killed two elk and a deer to add to the company's provisions.
