Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: May 16, 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
but in about two hours it cleared away and we had a fine day.
An Indian performed the quieting operation on two more of
our horses. In the evening two of our hunters came in, and
brought with them two deer and some ducks. Two of the
hunters still remained out. The natives all left our camp this
evening.
