Missouri River near Yellowstone approach — Patrick Gass: April 24, 1805
Patrick Gass · Missouri River near Yellowstone approach · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Missouri River near Yellowstone approach
so hard down the river we could not proceed. While we lay
here some of the men went to see some water at a distance
which appeared like a river or small lake. In the afternoon
they returned, and had found it only the water of the Missouri,
which had run up a bottom. One of the men caught six young
wolves and brought them in, and the other men killed some
elk and deer.
