Patrick Gass · Fort Clatsop, winter quarters · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Fort Clatsop, winter quarters
set out early. I went with a party and brought in the meat
of the 2 elk which were killed last evening. Two hunters who
had gone out yesterday morning returned very much fatigued,
and had killed nothing but a goose and a raven which they eat
last night. While out to-day I saw a number of musquitoes
flying about. I also saw a great quantity of sheep-sorrel
growing in the woods of a very large size.
