Patrick Gass · Missouri River near the Nishnabotna River · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
voyage opposite a prairie; had a fine day and fair wind, and
passed a long island, above which is a place where the bank
has slipped into the river. There are high rocky cliffs on the
south side, and hills and prairies on the north: on which side
we encamped. The river here is two miles wide with rapid
water. Two of our hunters met us here with two deer.
