Building and occupying Fort Clatsop — Patrick Gass: December 6, 1805
Patrick Gass · Building and occupying Fort Clatsop · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Fort Clatsop, winter quarters
able to set out. At noon it rained very hard, and the tide
flowed so high, that in some part of our camp the water was a
foot deep: we had therefore to remove to higher ground. In
the afternoon it still continued to rain hard.
