Fort Mandan, North Dakota — Patrick Gass: December 10, 1804
Patrick Gass · Fort Mandan, North Dakota · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
tain Lewis and four of us set out for the fort. Four hunters
and another man to keep camp remained out. On our return
we met one of our men, who said that a party had gone down
with the horses for more meat. This day was very cold: an
experiment was made with proof spirits, which in fifteen min-
utes froze into hard ice. In the evening two of our hunters
came in with the horses, but had killed nothing. Five en-
camped out.
