 Clark: Set out early and proceeded on down the river to a bottom opposit the forks of the river on the South Side and formed a Camp. [The "Canoe Camp," at which they remained until October 7, 1805, is about five miles west of Orofino, in Clearwater County, Idaho, on the south bank of the Clearwater and opposite the mouth fo the North Fork Clearwater (Lewis and Clark's Chopunnish River). It is one of the major sites in the Nez Perce National Historical Park.] Soon after our arrival a raft Came down the N. fork on which was two men, they came too, I had the axes distributed and handled and men apportioned ready to commence building canoes on tomorrow, our axes are Small & badly Calculated to build Canoes of the large Pine, Capt Lewis Still very unwell, Several men taken Sick on the way down, I administered Salts Pils Galip, Tarter emetic &c. I feel unwell this evening, [Jalap, the powdered root of a Mexican plant, Exogonium jalapa, used as a purgative to evacuate the bowels; the other medicines served a similar purpose.] two Chiefs & their families follow us and encamp near us, they have great numbers of horses. This day proved verry hot, we purchase fresh Salmon of the Indians.

| 1806 |
Clark: a fine morning we commenced wrighting &c [This is the last daily entry and the last of the captains' daily journal entries for the expedition. The remainder of journal consists of blank pages, maps and notes on Bon Homme Island, and a number of miscellaneous notes, including Clark's weather diary for September 1806, Clark's summary of Lewis's journey from Travelers' Rest to the Great Falls of the Missouri, a map of that route, and several other items. The nature of this "wrighting" is not clear. Some of the letters they had begun a few days earlier may not yet have been finished. It is likely that they were writing other letters in the next few days. It is possible that Clark still had some of his journals to complete.
