That night's camp, per the NPS campsite reconstruction (Bergantino): right shore, 12 mi NW of I-94 bridge, ND
was cloudy and cold. We embarked early and went on. At 9
we saw 11 Indians of the Sioux nation coming down from the
Mandans, who, notwithstanding the coldness of the weather,
had not an article of clothing except their breech-clouts. At
r o’clock the day became clear and pleasant and we encamped
at night on the south side.
