Yellowstone and Tongue River

Tuesday 29th July 1806 - Lewis Clark Journal: late in the evening I arived at the enterance of a River which I take to be [NB: called by Indians] the Lazeka or Tongue River [ Tongue River meets the Yellowstone in Custer County [Montana]; at its mouth today is Miles City. The Indian name is presumably from the Mandans or the Hidatsas; see Fort Mandan Miscellany. "Lazeka or Tongue River" may have been written in later over erasures. The term is a Mandan name, résik, "tongue." Besides his interlineation Biddle also put brackets in red ink around the words "which take to be."]
