Patrick Gass: October 19, 1806
An elderly Indian and his wife stayed overnight at camp and obtained more medicine. A party of men traveled about four miles upriver to Indian lodges to trade for roots, returning in the afternoon with a good supply. Several natives visited camp during the day and departed by evening. The expedition traded away their old stock of horses. Hunters had limited success, with one bringing in a deer. Weather was mixed: sunshine at camp with rain showers in the evening, while snow fell on the hills where hunters were working.

The old Indian and his wife stayed all night and got more medicine. A party of the men went to some Indian lodges about four miles up the river to buy roots and in the afternoon returned with a good many of them. Several of the natives came to our camp, and in the evening all went away.
[Here the text describes parting with the old stock of horses and mentions a war-mallet, which when skillfully wielded in close combat could be a destructive weapon.]
Three [hunters went out], two of which the old Indian guide took with him. Two of our hunters came in but had not killed anything. The weather was fair.
We had fair weather with sunshine. The hunters said it also snowed on the hills today, where they were hunting, while it rained at our camp. About 12 o'clock in the afternoon, another hunter came in and brought a deer that he had killed. In the afternoon four of our hunters again went out. In the evening there were some light showers.
