Salmon

17 October, 1805 we have passed the Mountains and are going down the Coulumbia River. Their is a lot of salmon here the river is crowded with them. There are a lot of Indians trying to catch them. All the men don't want to eat the salmon. There is also a lot of dead salmon on the shores and floating in the river. All of us are eating dog meat from the dogs that the area's Indians trade to us.
