Patrick Gass · Columbia River tidewater, approaching estuary · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition

after a disagreeable night of rain. Saw a number of the
natives, going up and down the river in canoes. Also passed
some of their lodges. The Indians in this part of the country
have but few horses, their intercourse and business being
chiefly by water. The high land comes more close on the
river in this part. Having gone 29 miles we encamped on the
south side.
