Building and occupying Fort Clatsop — Patrick Gass: December 12, 1805
Patrick Gass · Building and occupying Fort Clatsop · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
In the forenoon we finished 3 rooms of our cabins, all but the
covering ; which I expect will be a difficult part of the busi-
ness, as we have not yet found any timber which splits well;
two men went out to make some boards, if possible, for our
roofs. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon a number of the
natives from the seashore came to our camp, and remained
all night. Some rain fell in the evening.
