The place today: Lemhi Valley, preparing to cross Bitterroots
hunters went on early ahead, and one man to look for the
horses. We breakfasted on the beaver and a salmon, which
had been saved from supper the preceding evening. The
man, who had gone for the horses, having returned without
finding them, 4 or § more went out, and our guide imme-
diately found them. We then about 10 o’clock, proceeded on
to the forks, where we found our hunters; but they had killed
nothing. So we went up to a small village of the natives, got
some fish from them, and lodged there all night.
