Patrick Gass · Lewis/Clark descending Missouri/Yellowstone to reunion · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Lewis/Clark descending Missouri/Yellowstone to reunion
ing, but high wind. At 12 o’clock the wind blew so violent
that it became dangerous to go on, and we halted; and some
of the men went out and shot a large buck, but not dead and
he got into the river; when two of them pursued in a canoe
and caught him. Having remained here three hours, we
again went on until night and encamped. We have yet seen
nothing of the two hunters who had been left behind in the
small canoe.
