Local Adventurers Kayak the Missouri River Journal
A river diary records a family and companions paddling the Missouri from Fort Benton downstream. They endure rain and head winds, noting campsites, fish, and wildlife including beaver, pelicans, and a sturgeon. Entries describe Fort Claggett's fortifications, a Peters family stop at P. N. ranch, and historical clues about Meade and Can ada's 19th century events.
