Fort Mandan, North Dakota — Patrick Gass: December 1, 1804
Patrick Gass · Fort Mandan, North Dakota · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
That night's camp, per the NPS campsite reconstruction (Bergantino): left shore, Fort Mandan, ND
we began to cut and carry pickets to complete our fort. One
of the traders from the North West Company came to the
fort, and related that the Indians had been troublesome in his
way through. An Indian came down from the first Mandan
village, and told us that a great number of the Chien or Dog
nation had arrived near the village.
