Food.... September 20th 1805


You can not believe how much that I crave for red meat. Where did it go??? Crossing the plains we had 9 lbs. of buffalo a day and the meat was plentiful. The Indians cook salmon ever day and seem to eat it for every meal. If you look into the river it would be easy to find a salmon and to spear it. The Indians also eat a root called Camas IT IS HORRIBLE!!! You taste the first bite and it tastes extremely good but 2 hours later you become so full of gas that you stomachs swell and you have to go to the bathroom every 5 minuets. It is like having the thunderbolt pills every 5 minuets. To the left is a picture of the terrible Camas root.
