The 2d. day—the morning verry Cold & Windey. I broke
thro the ice and got my feet and legs wet, Sent out 4 hunters

those hunters killed a Deer & 2 Buffalow
Bulls the Buffalow too Meagur

proceeded on to an old Indian Lodge, Sent
out the hunters
& they brought in three lean Deer, which we made use
of for
food, walking on uneaven ice has blistered
the bottoms of my

on the young Willows, on the Sand bars, one
man I sent
in persute of a gangue of Elk Killed three near the old Ricara
Village, and joined at the fort, Sent him back to secure the
meat,
one man with him. The ice on the Parts of the river
which was verry rough,
as I went down, was Smoothe on my
return, This is owing to the rise and
fall of the water, which
takes place every day or two, and Caused by
partial thaws, and
obstructions in the passage of the water thro the Ice,
which
frequently attaches itself to the bottom, the water when riseing
forses its way thro the cracks & air
holes above the old ice,
& in one night becomes a Smothe Surface of
ice 4 to 6 Inchs
thick, the River falls & the ice Sink in places with
the water
and attaches itself to the bottom, and when it again rises to
its
former hite, frequently leavs a Valley of Several feet to Supply
with water to bring it on a leavel Surfice. The water of the
Missouri at this time is Clear with little tingue.
I saw Several
old Villages near the Chisscheter River on

Villages destroyed by the

who observed they had always wished to be
at peace and
good neighbours with the Ricaras, and

Mr. Gravelen informs that the Sisetoons
and the 3 upper
bands of the Tetons, with the
Yanktons of the North intend to
come to war in a Short time against the
nations in this quarter,
& will kill everry white man they See. Mr. T. also informs
that Mr.
Cameron[31]
of
St Peters has put arms into the hands of
the Soues to
revenge the death of 3 of his men killed by the
Chipaways latterley, and
that the Band of tetons which we
Saw is desposed to doe as we have advised
them, thro the
influence of their Chief the Black Buffalow.

of which the Indians eat the berry, and often use the bark in preparing the
smoking-mixture called kinnikinick.—Ed.

note thereon (p. 308).
Coues mentions (L. and C., i, pp. 238, 239), several
plants
which have in frontier tradition the reputation of curing
snake-bites; but he adds,
"Everybody knows the plant, except the
botanists." Although unable to identify it,
he thinks that there is some
basis of fact for so universal a belief. See fuller description

Company (also known as New Northwest Company) was formed in
1795, by Montreal
merchants who seceded from
the North West Company, mainly on account of
the arbitrary acts of its
chief, Simon McTavish; his death (July, 1804) led to the
union of the two
companies, on the 5th of November following. See Bryce's Hist.
