Canoe Camp on Clearwater River — Patrick Gass: October 4, 1805
The party crossed four mountains by around 4 o'clock and made camp in a valley. Two men set out to hunt while the others went fishing. They quickly caught enough small fish to combine with two salmon their guide had obtained from local Indians, providing a satisfying supper. The hunters returned after dark, having killed only a single beaver during their efforts.
hunters went on ahead and about 4 o’clock we got over the
four mountains, and encamped in the valley. Two men went
to hunt, and all the rest to fish. We soon caught as many
small fish as made, with two salmon our guide got from some
Indians, a comfortable supper. At dark our hunters came in
and had killed but one beaver.
