Fort Clatsop, winter quarters — Patrick Gass: February 22, 1806
Native visitors came to the fort bringing hats, which the expedition bought at reasonable prices. The following day, February 23rd, was clear and pleasant. February 24th began cloudy and turned to heavy rain by 10 a.m. Around noon, a group of natives arrived at the fort to trade. As the rain persisted alongside high, stormy winds throughout the day, the men allowed the visiting Indians to stay inside the fort overnight rather than sending them out into the bad weather.
natives again visited us, and brought some hats which we pur-
chased at a moderate price. The 23rd was also clear and
pleasant; but the morning of the 24th was cloudy, and at
10 o’clock it began to rain hard. About noon a number of
the natives came to the fort to trade. The rain continued
with high stormy wind; and we suffered the Indians to remain
in the fort all night.
