Note 196 — Chapter XXIV · DESCRIPTION OF FORT CLARKE AND THE ENVIRONS
Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation
Mr. Laidlow, at Fort Pièrre, rode out on a warm day about three years ago, to hunt a buffalo. At nightfall it began to rain, and the party was not well furnished with blankets. Towards morning, frost set in, and all their clothes were frozen quite stiff, so that many of the company did not, for some time, recover from the effects of this cold night.—Maximilian.
