At Chamberlain: "... I had an extensive view of the river below, and the irrgular hills which border the opposite sides of the river and creak ... This scenery, already rich, pleasing and beautiful, was still further heightened by immense herds of buffalo, deer, elk, and antelopes, which we saw in every direction. I do not think I exaggerate when I estimate the number of buffalo which could be comprehended at one view to amount to 3,000." - Captain Meriwether Lewis, Sept. 17, 1804
