[Lewis]                                                                                 Tuesday July 16th 1805

. . .Drewyer killed a buffaloe this morning. . .and we halted and breakfasted on it.

Here for the first time I ate of the small guts of the buffaloe cooked over a blazing

fire in the Indian stile without any preperation or washing or other clensing and

found them very good.
