Arikara villages near present-day Mobridge — Patrick Gass: October 8, 1804
Patrick Gass · Arikara villages near present-day Mobridge · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
The place today: Arikara villages near present-day Mobridge
early: passed high land on the south side and bottom on the
north. The river here is very shallow and full of sand bars.
We passed a run on the south side called slate run. Two of
our hunters went out to some timber land on the north side
to look for game. At 12 we came to ariver on the south side,
120 yards wide, called the Marapa, where we halted for dinner.
The hunters came up, but had killed nothing. We passed a
long range of hills on the north side; about two miles from
the Marapa we passed a creek 25 yards wide; and about four
miles further came to an island, where one band of the Rick-
arees live, and encamped at the upper end.
