Missouri River approaching Cannonball River — Patrick Gass: October 14, 1804
The expedition set out early and traveled by water through steady rain that lasted all day. Along the way, they passed a timbered bottomland on the south side of the river and low ground covered with willows on the north. They continued past a creek and dark-colored bluffs on the south bank before making camp for the night on the north side. No notable encounters or decisions were recorded for the day.
We proceeded early on our voyage; passed a bottom covered
with timber on the south side and low ground covered with
willows on the north; passed a creek and black bluffs on the
south side and encamped on the north. It rained slowly dur-
ing the whole of the day.
