Exploring for winter camp site, south shore of Columbia — Patrick Gass: November 19, 1805
On this day, hunters from the party went out and returned with three deer. Around 1 o'clock, a group of Native visitors who had been staying with the expedition departed. By 4 o'clock, another party of 15 men and one woman from the same nation arrived and camped nearby. Several men wore robes made of brant skins, and one had a finely woven, waterproof hat made from white cedar bark and bear-grass, which a member of the expedition bought in exchange for an old razor.
of the hunters went out. About 1 o’clock the natives, who,
had been with us some time, went away; and at 4 another
party of the same nation came, and encamped close by us.
They consisted of 15 men and one squaw. The dress of the
squaw was the same with those of the others. Several of the
men have robes made of brant skins: one of them had a hat
made of the bark of white cedar and bear-grass, very hand-
somely wrought and water proof.—One of our party pur-
chased it for an old razor. Our hunters killed 3 deer to-day.

One of our party purchased it for an old razor. Our hunters killed 3 deer today.
