Columbia near The Dalles, trading for horses — Patrick Gass: April 14, 1806
Around 9 a.m., the three hunters who had gone ahead up Crusatte's river returned with four deer. The party resumed their voyage at 10 a.m. and stopped at a new native settlement on the north side, where they saw horses in good condition—the first horses encountered since October. The wind blew hard from the southwest under clear, cool skies, with no recent frost except atop high hills. After a three-hour stay, they continued past several Indian camps and halted at a small creek near more Indian lodges.
About 9 o’clock our 3 hunters, who had gone ahead and
proceeded up Crusatte’s river some distance returned, having
killed 4 deer. At 10 o’clock we continued our voyage, and
at I came to a new settlement of the natives on the north side,
where we saw some horses, the first we have seen since Octo-
ber last. These horses appeared in good case. The wind

the high hills. We staid here three hours and then proceeded
on; passed several Indian camps, and halted at a small creek
on the north side, where there are a number of Indian lodges.
