Missouri River near Yellowstone approach — Patrick Gass: April 25, 1805
Patrick Gass · Missouri River near Yellowstone approach · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Missouri River near Yellowstone approach
but about 11 were obliged to halt again the wind was so strong
ahead. Captain Lewis and four men set off by land from this
place to go to the river Jaune, or Yellow Stone river, which it
is believed is not very distant. I remarked, as a singular cir-
cumstance, that there is no dew in this Country, and very little
rain, Can it be owing to the want of timber? At 5 o’clock
in the afternoon, we renewed our voyage; and having this day
advanced about 13 miles, encamped on the South side.
