Fort Mandan

Fort Mandan was the name of the encampment which the Lewis and Clark Expedition built for wintering over in 1804-1805. The encampment was located on the Missouri River approximately twelve miles from the site of present-day Washburn, North Dakota, which developed later. The precise location is not known for certain and is believed now to be under water of the river. A replica of the fort has been constructed near the original site.〔
==Construction and conditions==

The fort was built of cottonwood lumber cut from the riverbanks. It was triangular in shape, with high walls on all sides, an interior open space between structures, and a gate facing the Missouri River, by which the party would normally travel. Storage rooms provided a safe place to keep supplies. Lewis and Clark shared a room.〔(Gary Moulton, ed., ''Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition Online'', 3 November 1804 ), University of Nebraska Press〕 The men of the Corps of Discovery started the fort on November 2, 1804. They wintered there until April 7, 1805. According to the journals, they built the fort slightly downriver from the five villages of the Mandan and Hidatsa nations.
The winter was very cold, with temperatures sometimes dipping to minus 45 degrees Fahrenheit (-43°C),〔Gary E. Moulton, ed, ''The Definitive Journals of Lewis & Clark,'' Vol. 3: ''Up the Missouri to Fort Mandan'' (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1987), p. 258.〕 but the fort provided some protection from the elements.〔(Moulton, ''Journals Online'', 5 November 1804 ), University of Nebraska, Lincoln〕 Several of the men of the expedition suffered frostbite due to the severely cold conditions, which affected them even with brief exposure.〔Moulton (1987), Vol. 3, ''Up the Missouri,'' pp. 254-255.〕
