On August 3, 1805, a Saturday, Lewis recorded this in the journals:

"This morning they passed a small creek on the starboard at the entrance of which Reuben Fields killed a large panther [mountain lion]. We called the creek after that animal, Panther Creek."

This was the first time they encountered and killed a mountain lion.
