Most of our men had not experienced the severe weather they had in the north Dakota area. Below zero weather and tons of snow and freezing wind filled most days in January. The group had to do something to get food, because hunting wasn’t going so well. The captains had the smart idea to doctor the Indians in exchange for meat and vegetables. There were plenty of Mandan Indians who needed medical help with different things, from treating wounds, to bad teeth and frostbite. They would bring food and get medical help. It was a win-win.
