Down Missouri, approaching Mandan villages — Patrick Gass: August 13, 1806

Patrick Gass · Down Missouri, approaching Mandan villages · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition

we set out early in a fine morning; about nine o’clock passed
the Little Missouri and went on very well during the whole
of the day. In the evening those in some of the small canoes,
which were ahead, saw Indians, who fled before they could
speak to them. At night we encamped opposite an old win-
tering village of the Grossventres, which had been deserted
some time ago.
