Historic Diaries: Floyd 1804

Editor's Note:
A second day encamped at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. Some of the hunters saw the first buffalo, which they learned the Kansas Indians were hunting on the prairies nearby. For a depiction of Plains Indian buffalo hunting, see George's Catlin's series of paintings in American Journeys document AJ-118.
