Oct 25 1879 I saw many women going with their Jugs on their Backs
going for water I saw Many Donkies coming up the trail with 200 lb of cane
in sacks on their Backs to the village, all the corn produce wood & water
has to Be brought up to the top of the Mountain 1500 feet high on the Backs of there
Asses or on the Backs of Men & women. Soon I saw Brother Smith &
Hatch winding their way up the trail I stood on the top of [Blocks] of
Stone 10 By 20 feet on top and then crevecies between the rocks from 1 to 3 feet
which go down perpendicular for 100 feet or more Br Smith & Hatch soon
arived & Brought me some Breakfast which I eat with Relish we then
went with si to the south village Walpe to visit them. This village stands
on the South End of the Rocks and their work shops stand flush on the outer
Edge of the preapice and the dwelling Houses stand some 10 to 12 feet from the
outer Edge of the mountain and there is nothing built up to keep children
or Man or woman from falling off and draping [dropping] 1000 feet into the
abiss one Chief fell off, & several children at Different time In time of
war 5 Navajoes was shoved off who come to talk to them about peace
but got into a dispute and was shoved off & dashed to peaces Jacob
Hamblin saw their bodies after they fell on the East side of the
rock about 100 feet from the top there is a projection of the rock below
and the Indian have made a trail to it and formed the space into sheep
& goat pens for many yards in length which are filled with hundreds
of sheep & goats so you can look down 100 or 150 feet from
the top of the rocks & see there sheep & goats but if one of them was to
Jump over the frail outer wall 2 feet hight they would go down
