Patrick Gass · Missouri River at the Milk River confluence · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Missouri River at the Milk River confluence
The country on both sides begins to be more broken, and the
river more crooked. At 1, we passed a creek on the south
side, and having made about 25 miles we encamped at the
mouth of a creek on the north side, called by the name of
Warner’s creek.
