Bitterroot crossing attempt, turned back by snow — Patrick Gass: June 10, 1806
Patrick Gass · Bitterroot crossing attempt, turned back by snow · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Bitterroot crossing attempt, turned back by snow
set out accompanied by several of the natives, travelled about
twelve miles and arrived at what we call the Com-mas flat,
where we first met the natives after crossing the Rocky moun-
tains last fall. Here we encamped and some hunters went out.
The com-mas grows in great abundance on this plain; and at
this time looks beautiful, being in full bloom with flowers of
a pale blue colour.— At night our hunters came in and had
killed one deer.
