That night's camp, per the NPS campsite reconstruction (Bergantino): left shore, Fort Mandan, ND
fast. A party of the Chien Indians with some of the Man-
dans came to the fort; they appeared civil and good natured.
The 3rd, 4th and 5th were moderate and we carried on the
work; but the 6th was so cold and stormy, we could do noth-
ing. In the night the river froze over, and in the morning
was covered with solid ice an inch and a half thick.
