Fort Mandan, North Dakota — Patrick Gass: December 8, 1804
Despite extreme cold that left several men with frostbitten feet, Captain Clark led a hunting party out in pursuit of buffalo. The hunt was successful, yielding nine buffalo and one deer. The harsh conditions took a toll on the men, with one suffering a frozen hand, another a frozen foot, and several others slightly affected by the cold. Two men remained behind at an outdoor camp to guard and care for the meat overnight.
