Missouri River near Jefferson City area — Patrick Gass: June 10, 1804
Patrick Gass · Missouri River near Jefferson City area · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Missouri River near Jefferson City area
called Deer-lick creek on the north side; and three miles fur-
ther the Two Charlottes on the same side. The mouths of
these two rivers are very near each other: the first 7o and the
other 100 yards wide. We encamped on the south side of the
river at a prairie, and remained there the whole of the next
day, the wind blowing too violent for us to proceed.
