The place today: Missouri River Breaks area
pleasant morning; passed some hills on the North side, cov-
ered with pine and cedar, the first timber of any kind we have
seen on the hills for a long time. At 1 we halted for dinner
and a violent storm of wind then arose, which continued until
84 GASS’S JOURNAL OF THE
night when some rain fell. Our distance this day only 13 1-2
miles.
