That night's camp, per the NPS campsite reconstruction (Bergantino): near east Nez Perce village of 1805, ID
Sunday June 22nd 1806. this morning by light all hands who could hunt were
sent out; the result of this days perfomance was greater than we had even
hoped for. we killed eight deer and three bear. we dispatched Whitehouse
to the Kooskooske near our old encampment above Collins’s Creek in order
to procure some Salmon which we have understood the natives are now taking
in considerable quantities near that place. we gave Whitehouse a few beads
which Capt. C. had unexpectedly found in one of his waistcoat pockets to
purchase the fish. nothing further worthy of notice occurred in the course
of this day. the last evening was cool but the day was remarkably pleasent
with a fine breize from the N. W. neither Drewyer Shannon nor Whitehouse
returned this evening.Potts’s legg is inflamed and very painfull to
him. we apply a poltice of the roots of Cows.-
