Note 39 — Chapter VII
J. V. (Jedediah Vincent) Huntington translation
The Clatsop Indians were a tribe of the Lower Chinook family, who occupied the northwestern corner of the present state of Oregon, giving name to a county and town. Lewis and Clark wintered among this tribe (1805-06), giving their name to the wintering-post. They reported that they found but two hundred Clatsop—the remnant left from a scourge of small-pox, by which they had been visited some four years previous. The Clatsop tribe is now extinct.—Ed.
