Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: June 7, 1806
Patrick Gass · Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt
of rain. I went over with five of our party to the village, on
the other side of the river; and while we were going some
snow fell. The greater part of the natives were out hunting.
In the evening we all returned to camp, except two, who re-
mained at the village. Some of the natives again came to visit
us, one of whom gave a horse to one of our men, who is very
fond of conversing with them and of learning their language.
