Missouri River near Osage River — Patrick Gass: June 5, 1804
The expedition passed Little Goodwoman Creek and Big Rock Creek on the river's north side, encountering two Frenchmen traveling in canoes loaded with furs. After passing a high rock cliff on the south side, the party made camp on the north bank in an area noted for good land and ample timber. The following days brought further progress: on June 6 they passed Saine Creek on the south, and on June 7 they passed the River of the Big Devil and Big Goodwoman's Creek on the north, camping near the latter.
and Little Goodwoman creek on the north: also the creek of
the Big Rock. We met two Frenchmen in two canoes laden
with peltry; passed a high cliff of rocks on the south side,
and encamped on the north side. The land about this place
is good and well timbered.
On the 6th we passed Saine creek on the south side; and
on the 7th the river of the Big Devil on the north; and Big
Goodwoman’s creek on the same side, where we encamped.
