Journal Entry

September 26, 1846 ~ Saturday

26th Saturday I found my mule this morning
saddle & ducks all right I spent the day hunting
cattle & exploring the country I found all our
cattle. And traveld a long distance up & down
the river. I also got wet feet to day halling
several cattle out of the mud to save life. I travled
during the day. 30 miles

In the evening a drove of wolves caught a calf
that bauled at a dreadful rate untill he was
dead it was heard over the encampment I
