Patrick Gass · Missouri River near Big Bend · Thwaites Vol. Gass 1807 First Edition
clear and pleasant: passed some timber land on the south
side, and hills and prairies on the north; also an island and
a great number of sand bars. Yesterday captain Lewis while
hunting killed a bird not common in the states: it is like a

and a wolf, and halted and encamped on the south side of the
river in order to jirk our meat.
