Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: June 8, 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
men came over from the village, and a hunter, who had been
out, returned without killing any thing. Several of the natives
still stay about our camp, and are of opinion we cannot cross
the mountains for some time yet. We, however, mean to
remove a short distance to where the hunting is better.
