"Applegate's company leaves the rock this morning. Our little company remains at its first camp. Captain Cooper assumes command of the company. We spent the day in drying meat, cleaning up our wet firearms, making moccasins, etc. "Several of our men are out hunting; others came in this evening, and report that the buffalo are all on the move in the direction of the Yellowstone River. I mount guard as private tonight for the first time on the trip."
