Sacajawea at Beaverhead Rock
THE CORP OF DISCOVERY 1803-1806
Capt. Lewis August 8, 1805

...the evening again proved cloudy much to my mortification and prevented my making any lunar observations, the Indian woman recognized the point of a high plain to our right which she informed us was not very distant from the summer retreat of her nation on a river beyond the mountains which runs to the west. this hill she says her nation calls the beaver's head from a conceived remblance of it's figure to the head of that animal. she assures us that we shall either find her people on this river or on the river immediately west of it's source; which from it's present size cannot be very distant, as it is now all important with us to meet with those people as soon as possible, I determined (to leave the charge of the party, and the care of the lunar observations to Capt. Clark; and) to proceed tomorrow with a small party to the source of the principal stream of this river and pass the mountains to the Columbia; and down that river untill I found the Indians; in short it is my resolusion to find them or some others, who have horses if it should cause me a trip of one month. for without horses we shall be obliged to leave a great part of our stores, of which, it appears to me that we have a stock already sufficiently small for the length of the voyage before us."
