Camp Fortunate / Shoshone contact — Patrick Gass: August 16, 1805

while here one of the men went out and killed a fine buck.
We proceeded through rapid water; the river is very narrow,
crooked and shallow. This morning we passed a place where
the hills come close to the river for a short distance, and then
open on each side of a small valley, which, on account of the
great quantity of service berries in it, we called Service-berry
valley. We passed over a rapid of about a quarter of a mile,
and encamped on the South side, having come 15 miles.
