Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
J. M Grant, Eldridge myself and others on went in search
of a new ferry. We travelled down the Missouri River
five miles on the Bluff and saw many hops elderburies and grapes, killed
one turkey and saw two deer
We had brought with us a leather boat in
which we crossed the river with seven persons in it. Here we met
a committee from Council Point who was upon the same business as
ourselves. This committee was composed of Bishop Morley Harris
Miller Richards and others some of whom returned with us
Several of us spent some time in picking
grapes of which were picked 2 bushels and after making a bridge
across a creek we started for home
