Patrick Gass · Missouri River above Great Falls, Gates of the Mountains · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Missouri River above Great Falls, Gates of the Mountains
prosecuted our voyage; passed a bank of very red earth,
which our squaw told us the natives use for paint. Deer are
plenty among the bushes, and one of our men killed one on
the bank. We continued through the valley all day: Went 19
miles and encamped on the north side.
