Lewis and Clark were first seen. She said the Indians had been on the watch for them for several days, as news had come by Indian post of the strangers from the East. Lewis and Clark with their party came in the afternoon or evening, and were met by the Indians in their canoes at or a little above the modern town of Cathlamet and escorted to the Indian village, which was then on the slough below Cathlamet, at about the point where the saw mill now is. How long they stayed here she could not clearly tell. It was evident she confused their westward and eastward trips and also their winter stay at Clatsop with their stay at Cathlamet village. Twenty-five miles to wandering Indians is a bagatelle of too little importance to be considered in fixing a locality. It was a time of feasting, wonderment and council making. Lewis and Clark
