The place today: Fort Mandan, near Washburn, ND
went up to the first village of the Mandans, who gave us some
corn. Captain Clarke and the rest of our party, having dropt
half a mile lower down the river, began to clear a place for a
camp and fort. We pitched our tents and laid the founda-
tion of one line of huts.
