In April 1806 while across from the mouth of the Walla Walla River, Captain Clark was presented with a "eligant white horse", just not a large plaster (?) one.
"... This morning early the Great Chief Yel lip pet brought a very eligant white horse to our Camp and presented him to me Signifying his wish to get a kittle but being informed that we had already disposed of every kittle we could possibly Spare he Said he was Content with what ever I thought proper to give him. I gave him my Swoard, 100 balls & powder and Some Small articles of which he appeared perfectly Satisfied. ..."
[Clark, April 28, 1806]
