July 4 [1853] --...Got off about 10 and followed the Red River trail some twelve miles, when we left it altogether. Crossed Maple river and camped on its banks, about half a mile from our crossing. It would be an excellent plan for an emigrant travelling through the country, before reaching one of these rivers on which he expects to camp, to catch a few frogs, for the purpose of fishing in these streams, which abound in pike, pickerel, and large catfish. Frogs are by far the best bait which can be used. About dusk we raised the American flag, made of white and red shirts contributed by the party and sewed together by Beaubien. As it went up the assembled command gave it three hearty cheers, and then indulged in some refreshments in honor of the day, ending the evening with songs and story telling...."
