Fort Clatsop, salt works established — Patrick Gass: January 3, 1806
Patrick Gass · Fort Clatsop, salt works established · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
this morning with one of the men to go to the salt works, to
see what progress those engaged in that business had made;
and why some of them had not returned, as they had been
expected for some time. We proceeded along a dividing
ridge, expecting to pass the heads of some creeks, which inter-
vened. We travelled all day and could see no game; and the
rain still continued. In the evening we arrived at a place
where two of the men had killed an elk some time ago. Here
we struck up a fire, supped upon the marrow bones and
remained all night.
