The place today: Missouri River near Little Missouri
fair wind. The day was fine and we made good way. Passed
a beautiful plain and two large creeks on the North side, and
another creek on the South. We saw a great many buffaloe
and elk on the banks. At 1 o’clock we halted for dinner,
when two men went out and in a few minutes killed 2 buffaloe.
We made 26 miles and encamped on the South side, and
found that some rain had fallen during the day, where we
encamped, though there was none where we had been.
