Fort Mandan

Captain Lewis and Captain Clark have asked us to build a Fort to stay at for the winter of 1804. The Fort is going to be called Fort Mandan. It is very tiring to build so I can't wait for it to be done. It is on the north side of the river. Right now I'm working on building the two rows of chinked log cabins. Some of the men are working on a palisade fence of logs that is going to surround the fort.
