17
on a little grass on the sand Hills watter
drove to Moyncoppy and found it located on
a Hill. I here met with John W Young &
his wife Luella we were all glad to met
I found them in a tent whare I spent the
night distance of the day 25 Miles
This country from the Willow springs to
Moyencoppy is the strangest country I ever
passed over some 20 miles it is one contin
eous desert of Rocks Mounds sand Hills
gravel Beds &c many tons of rocks look
as though they were hewn square
some of them are 20 feet long & from
12 to 18 inches square and all shapes
& siszes then Hills of thin slate but
in a decayed state Rocks in Evry shape
of men women children palaces &c
But a general Desolation untill we
come to the Bottom land south of
Moyencoppy which contains bushes
of various kinds and some wheat Grass
we saw one large field of wheat I
spent the Eve[nin]g talking with John W Young
& Andrew S Gibbons the Indian interpeter
