"Two of our men last night caught nine catfish, that would together weigh three hundred pounds. ...Captain Lewis and Captain Clarke went to see a hill on the north side of the river where the natives will not or pretend that they will not venture to go, and say that a small people live there, whom they are afraid of. ... Captains Lewis and Clarke did not return this evening.
AUGUST 26, 1804
About 10 o'clock Captain Lewis and Captain Clarke with the party accompanying them came to camp; but had not been able to discover any of those small people. The hill is in a handsome prairie; and the party saw a great many buffaloe near it."
