Columbia near The Dalles, trading for horses — Patrick Gass: April 14, 1806
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

blew hard from the southwest and the weather was clear and
cool, but there has been no frost lately, except on the tops of
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.
