The following excerpt is from The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
July 30th Tuesday 1805.
A fine pleasant morning. We loaded all the canoes early and set out about 9 a.m. and proceeded on up the North fork. Captain Lewis walked on shore. We passed large bottoms covered with cotton timber and thick brush. The river crooked rapid and full of Islands. An abundance of beaver & beaver dams along these bottoms. The currents of different kinds abound in these bottoms. We dined at a Camp where the snake Indians had been camped 4 years ago, and were attacked by the Grossvauntaus. Two or three of the Snake nation were killed, and several squaws taken prisoners. Our interpreter’s wife was one of them. She tells us that she was taken in the middle of the river as she was crossing at a shallow place to make her escape. The rest all mounted their horses and cleared themselves as they did not wish to fight, neither were they strong enough for the Grossvauntaus.
