“The morning we left Fort Mandan I walked along the shore for want of exercise. Our vessels consisted of six small canoes and two large pirogues. This little fleet although not so respectable as those of Columbus and Captain Cook were still viewed with as much pleasure as those famed adventurers ever beheld theirs; and I dare say with as much anxiety for their safety and preservation. We were about to penetrate a country at least 2000 miles in width, on which the foot of civilized man had never trodden. Entertaining as I do the most confident hope of succeeding in this voyage I could esteem this moment as one of the happiest of my life!”
