WAIT The record of our first weeks Journey has been lost. Kansas, May 28, 1866. We left Lawrence, The party was composed of four families. Mr. MERWIN, Mr. and Mrs. MERWIN, Mrs. Celestia MERWIN, their son Arthur's wife (she was also my sister), Hervy, Hank, Will, Rose and Marshall MERWIN. They had two wagons and eight mules. Hervy had a little pony, buckskin, of a treacherous disposition. Mr. DEMING and wife, a widowed daughter, Louisa, Mrs. HODGE, and her little girl, Ella, about four years old, Fayette, Alphonso and Brier DEMING. Carmine VAUGHN, a friend of the family and a Mr. John PORTER. He had a large black horse named Billy that he rode and boarded with Mr. DEMING. They had two wagons and eight head of mules. A little span used as leaders on the family wagon belonged to Carmine. The other was my father, Isaac WAIT, sister Frances and.myself. wagon and four head of mules. We had one There was another family going with us but were not quite ready and said for us to go on and they would overtake us. They were Moses BALDWIN and wife, Susan, and two children. Nellie, about five years, and Johnnie, about three and a young man, Wesley WALTERS .. They had one wagon and a four horse team, and two saddle horses, Kate and Eagle. I had a side saddle and had many a nice ride on them before we got through. SUNDAY, JUNE 3rd. We have not traveled today. They concluded it would be best to let the teams rest one day out of the week and though Sunday would do as well as any day. Camp has been a busy place. We have been washing, baking and ironing and Mrs. MERWIN is finishing their tent. The men have put in their time laying around in the shade. Carmine's little mule, January, was missing this morning, and Fayette found it about a mile this side of Centreville, where it had been stopped. Carmine was· quite sick all night, but is much better this afternoon. MONDAY. JUNE 4. 1866 Left camp this morning at half past six, drove about twelve miles without accident or adventure, and stopped for dinner about half past ten. Rested a couple of hours and took up the "line of march" again. Mrs. DEMING was so sick with headache that we were obliged to stop about the middle of the afternoon. She is much easier this evening. Soon after starting this morning we passed through the small town of Americus it is situated on both sides of the Red Vermilion. Our road has been through a rough but picturesque country today. This evening the boys are employing their leisure in gymnastic exercises. THE PIONEER, Vol.· XVII, No.1 -20- �DIARY OP OUR TRIP, continued TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1866 This morning was quite cold, with a strong west wind which increased during the day with frequent showers which made it very disagreeable traveling. We drove twelve miles and camped just this side of the Black Vermilion, about ten o'clock, stayed there about two hours. When they brought up the teams, Father was absent and no one knew where he had gone. The rest got ready and were impatient of.waiting, so I started to hitch up the team myself. Celestia saw what I was doing and came to help me. Then the boys saw what we were doing. They came and helped us, while we were .getting the team ready PORTER and Hervy rode into the timber looking for but did not find him. I was very much worried over his absence. PORTER went again to look for him and met him coming. He had found some nice wild gooseberries. and was so busy picking them he did not realize how long he had been. We traveled about ten miles, did intend to drive to Marysville, but the wind blew so hard they though it would be too hard for the mules and camped five miles from it. This afternoon we passed four wagons bound for Oregon from Texas, had come all the way this spring. They wanted to travel with us but some objected to their company. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6 Started early and drove close to Marysville and camped and spent the day. We stopped about nine o'clock. The Texans are camped close by, another four wagons came along soon after. They are from near Lawrence and started the same day we did. They are going to California, and both outfits will travel in company with us. The boys have improved their time playing billiards, as they think it will be their last chance for a good while. THURSDAY. JUNE 7 We were in motion about the usual time, crossed a small creek and Pa and Mr. DEMING drove up through town to get some corr.. Marysville is quite a large place, about a mile farther we crossed the Big Blue. It has a good bridge across it. We passed our company this morning, as they were not quite ready but they came up with us before we stopped for dinner. This afternoon we have traveled together making a train of 12 wagons. Tonight we are camped close together in three groups. The wind has blown hard from the South all day, one of our regular Kansas gales. I was in hopes it would go down with the sun, but it has not in the least. FRIDAY. JUNE 8 The wind stopped blowing during the night, and the morning was very pleasant. Our party was ready to move first. We drove a short distance and . ' wa1 ted for the others. As we started again, Mr. MERWIN's white mule team started wi th their usual vim and broke a single tree, which detained us some time. During. the forenoon we came in sight of a mule train going to Idaho. We are camped within a mile of them tonight and will overtake them tomorrow. We met -21- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued the overland stage today. Just before stopping for noon, Foney (Alphonse) was driving Fayette's team and dropped one of the lines of the leaders. He stepped out on the wagon tongue to recover it. He slipped and to save himself from falling under the mules feet, jumped to the ground. At that, the team started on a run, jerking and dragging him a short distance, when he fell under the wagon, the hind wheel passing over his limbs just below the knees. No bones were broken, but he was badly bruised. The team ran up against the wagon ahead of it and was caught before it recovered from the shock of the collision. We took dinner on Rock Creek close by a ranch. PORTER put in his time this noon making a checker board on the inside the back of his rubber coat. This afternoon we met a man that had come clear through from Oregon horseback with a pack mule. We drove about a mile off the road and camped on a small creek. SATURDAY, JUNE 9 Soon after starting this morning we passed a station. The women there told Henry a man passed there last week that looked exactly like him. They think it must have been Arthur. The road lay through a very rough country, the ravines being studded with trees, making a pretty scenery. We crossed Little Sandy and Big Sandy during the fo~enoon. Mr. BALDWIN joined us just before noon. He left Lawrence just a week ago today. We stopped for dinner near the Stage station, close to Big Sandy. We drove to the Little Blue this afternoon, and are camped on the bank of it. Some have been fishing but did not catch any. It looks very much like rain tonight. SUNDAY. JUNE 10. 1866 We had a hard rain this morning just before daylight and the wind has blown very hard today till about four o'clock, when it coumenced raining again. Louie, Mrs. MERWIN and I have been washing. Will and Mr. BALDWIN went hunting. The rest have loafed around camp, some sleeping and reading or playing checkers. The sunset was a grand and beautiful scene. The sky was overcast with dark blue clouds, except a small place in the west where the sun shone out in all his glory till it sank below the horizon. A large beautiful rainbow arched the East, and the prairies and foliage seemed to take on a deeper green, making a lovely picture. MONDAY, JUNE 11 Today we have been traveling up the valley of the Little Blue and are now camped this side of where the road leaves the valley, between a deep dry slough and the creek. We made a short drive today owing to the bad conditions of the road. The last few days we have found a profusion of beautiful flowers, unlike any I ever saw on the Kansas prairies. Rose and Frank complain that I have mentioned everyone, but them I will state they have been picking bouquets and presenting them to their favorites, and discussing them as usual. THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 -22- �DIARY OP OUR TRIP, continued TUESDAY, JUNE 12 This morning about .two o'clock camp was aroused by the startling news that the creek was rising very fast and we had better get out onto higher ground. Things were piled into wagons and a team hitched to each wagon but by the time that was done a river was running through the slough and the water was allover the ground where our wagons were. There was a little knoll on the bank of the creek and a big tree growing on it at the waters edge. They drove the teams up close as they could, then the men pulled the.wagons up. All the tongues rested on the dry ground, and so we could get into the wagons without wading. Our dry ground space was very small, not large enough to set up a tent on. The mules and horses were tied to the back of the wagons, and standing in water up to their knees. The tree was used as a gage and the men proposed to haul the women up into the tree if the water got deep enough to float the wagons. We were all watching anxiously the progress of the water. It raised very fast for a while, and then gradually decreased. At nine 0' clock it was at a standstill, and remained so a couple of hours, when it began to fall slowly, and has fallen about twelve inches this evening. PORTER went out with his horse a couple of times today, but said it was swimming water all around us. A Dutchman and his wife traveling alone camped on the bottom about a quarter below us. We were at the mouth of the canyon and they were on the broad level bottom and the water did not get much more than hub deep, but they were terribly frightened. When Henry first noticed the danger he .rode down and warned them. They had for a team a horse and a great big old balky mule. He came and called for help a couple of times, but Hervy said he knew they were in no danger, so they got things fixed at our place. Then several of the men went and helped him out. The other part of our train did not go onto the bottom to camp that night. PORTER went over to dry land by swimming his horse, and Will swam over. He said he could not have swam another rod he was so tired. They stayed over all day, and they and some of the men of the other train tried to build a raft, but did not make a success of it. This afternoon they tried to get the mules across to dry land but did not succeed. The boys swam back to our Island. This evening passed pleasantly, Hervy entertaining us with music on the banjo. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 13 The water fell seven inches during the night. They took the stock across to the high ground this morning. Will and John waded across first. The water did not quite come up to their armpits. We have all been washing today. The water is soft as rain water. The boys have been enjoying themselves diving and swimming in an eddy in the bend of the creek. About sundown the night guard went over to take charge of the stock. Some of the women wanted a guard left on the Island, but the boys did not think anyone would come through the water to disturb us. So we sat up t i l l midnight chatting the time away, and then all retired to their respective places of rest. The water has fallen very slowly all day. THURSDAY. JUNE 14 The water has not run down much during the night, but they thought it best to wait no longer, so they raised the wagon boxes six inches, and by going down the creek aways where the slough spread out in the bottom they got out without -23- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1. �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued any trouble. The side saddle was put on Billy and all the women but Mrs. MERWIN, Mrs. BALDWIN and the Dutch woman rode over on him. Hervy carried Ella and Nellie over in his arms on horseback. It was about eleven 0 ' clock when we all were once more on solid ground. We traveled about twelve miles and camped on the Blue again, but above high water mark this time. Mrs. DEMING has a sick headache this evenl.ng. FRIDAY. JUNE 15 Started early and drove about a mile and had to leave the main road on account of high water and go way round on the prairie some six miles to get the distance of two. We crossed Thirty-Two Mile creek during the forenoon. Hervy put the side saddle on one of the sorrel nwles and Celestia rode till noon. Mrs. MERWIN drove the wagon that she rode in, but they only worked one team to do it and changed teams every day. The boys rode the teams that had the day off. Mr. MERWIN walked nearly all the way. We stopped for dinner a quarter of a mile from the Little Blue. Hank, Hervy and PORTER went hunting this afternoon. They shot an antelope but did not hit it. Hank and Hervy came back to the train in a couple of hours but PORTER did not come till after we were camped. We are on Elm Creek. It 1S a small stream with an occasional lone tree along its banks. SATURDAY. JUNE 16 It was sprinkling when we got up this morning and looked very much as through it was going to rain hard, but it passed around us. Father went off the road hunting and I drove the team most of the forenoon. Several of the men were hunting but did not get any game. Our camp is just at the edge of the Platte bottom. Several of the party went to the grave of Mrs. Susan Waite. She died in the year of 1852. We looked through the opera glasses from the top of one of the neighboring hills and could see the flag waving at Fort Kearney, a distance of eighteen miles. SUNDAY, JUNE 17 We started about seven o'clock and traveled up the beautiful valley of the Platte. Part of the time the road was along the bank of a channel that runs out into the prairie. Passed through Valley City, a small place built mostly of sod. We stopped for dinner about three miles from Fort Kearny and some of the men went on to the Fort to see what was to be done. The authorities said for us to come on and organize. We passed through the Port. It is a very pretty place and drove within a quarter of a mile of Kearney City and camped near the train that was waiting for. us. Here we found our former company that left us on the Island. MONDAY. June 18 This morning just as we were ready to start, Arthur came riding up to camp. He was on his way to Lawrence and had left his train at Cottonwood Springs, and rode on to meet us, He is going back with the train till he meets his freight train. Then he is going to take Celestia back to Lawrence. When he' gets his business settled he will come after us. Mrs. WALTERS said that Mrs. BALDWIN was expecting to overtake him at Kearney joined us this morning, with the span of THE PIONEER, Vol XVII, No. 1 -24- �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued horses he was expected to bring. A Mr. SNOW and another man PORTER was expecting to overtake us at Kearney were part of a day's drive back of us, and the train did not want to wait for them. PORTER remained there, waiting for them. We are camped near the Platte tonight with our wagons formed into a corral with the stock pocketed around the outside. TUESDAY. JUNE 19 The teams were brought up about the usual time, but Carmine left his mules "loose for a while and the little rogues took the back track post haste. An hour was spent getting them back again. We had not drove far till we came up with Mr. PORTER and SNOW. They had passed us during the night. Just before noon we came to Arthur's train camped off the road aways. We drove to one side of the road, set out their things, and bid them goodbye. Stopped for dinner on the bank of the Platte. After dinner we resumed our journey up the Platte. During the afternoon we passed through another sod town and camped for the night within a half mile of the river. Some one in the crowd played the violin and the boys danced on the sod. WEDNESDAY, June 20 There was some dissatisfaction last night with the wagon master. He wants our folks to turn their stock loose and herd it with his. They will not do it, so he threatened to report them. Our party started out first this morning and drove like "Jehu" to get away from the captain. This afternoon they drove more moderate and the most of the train came up with us. The boss is camped about half mile from us with his eight wagons. After the work was done the violin was brought out, and a merrie company gathered and danced by the light of the moon. THURSDAY. JUNE 21 The forenoon's drive was monotonous as usual. After dinner, Wes wanted to know if I would like to ride the pony Kate. Of course I was agreeable. He saddled another horse for his use. She was a very nervous, touchy creature and had never been rode by a woman. She frisked around pretty lively for a while but soon quieted down and I had a very nice ride. We passed a small military post where the train was examined to see if it fulfilled the requirements of the government. Three miles farther we came to Cottonwood Springs. Camped on the Platte again. The evening was spent as usual with music and dancing. FRIDAY. JUNE 22 This morning Hervy put the side saddle on Buckskin for the girls to ride, but they were afraid to venture it and wanted me to ride him first. I had a pleasant ride and did not get hurt or my neck broken as some predicted. We stopped for dinner near Fremont's Springs. Part of our company drove on and are still ahead tonight. Our musicians are with them. We are some distance from the river tonight. Mrs. MERWIN has a sick headache this evening and Johnny BALDWIN is quite sick. -25- THE PIONEER, VoL XVII, No. 1 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued SATURDAY. JUNE 23 We left the valley soon after starting and drove on the hills for a while. Then we came down a high steep hill to the river again. The road was along the foot of the bluffs. The scenery was grand. About ten o'clock we camped near the bank of the Platte, and the rest of the day has been spent in washing, baking, and so forth. The Indians have been in camp all the afternoon. They were very profuse in their demonstrations of friendship. We met some Soldiers this morning and Hervy stopped with them. He was to come on tonight but has not arrived yet. The boys spent the evening with gymnastic exerC1se. We remained in camp till eleven 0' clock, passed a station soon after starting near which was about fifty Indian lodges. The boys got off their steeds to ride in the wagons and Rose and Frank appropriated them and rode up with me. Then we went ahead to get some good drinking water. Came to the Stage Station but did not like the looks of the gemmen so we went to a ranch a short distance ahead and got some excellent water to drink and waited there till the train came up. There were only men living there but they were gentlemanly fellows and made themselves quite agreeable. The girls rode till they camped and we had a fine ride. MONDAY, JUNE 25 We started this morning about S1X and drove till eleven. Little Johnny is some better. The captain has a very sick child. This afternoon was very sultry for awhile. Then the wind blew up from the North, making it cool and pleasant. Rose, Frank and I walked the last two miles of the drive. We found some red blossoms of the cactus that were very pretty. TUESDAY, JUNE 26 It has been very cool and pleasant for traveling today • During the forenoon we passed the Beauvis Ranch, near the old California crossing. Camped tonight a mile this side of Julesburg. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27 The fording was so deep and the water was falling so fast they though it best to wait until tomorrow to ford, so we have been in camp all day. Will sprained his ankle today. The sick children are a little better. THURSDAY. JUNE 28 Left camp about seven and drove up to the ford. They raised the wagon beds eight inches, doubled the teams and proceeded to cross, with two horsemen to each team to whip them through, for they did not dare to stop· a minute for the quicksand. It was about three quarters of a mile across. Mrs. MERWIN's wagon was among the first to cross and was freighted with women and children. Our wagon was in the second part to cross. I wished to watch the others come over, and the others had been watching till they were tired, so Mrs. MERWIN gave me THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 -26- �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued one of the glasses and I went down to the bank. I had not been there long till a couple of the women of the other party of the train came. They were soon joined by a gentleman who made several unsuccessful attempts at conversation with them. Then he turned to me. He was a very agreeable companion. He had been in Oregon and spoke very favorably of it. The whole of our company did not get over till after three o'clock. They let the teams graze a while, then drove to Pole Creek and camped about sundown. FRIDAY, JUNE 29 We started early, the right wing taking the lead. They drove about seventeen miles. and camped off the road on the creek for dinner. The captain was in the rear and went in the opposite direction to camp. The two wagons of bachelors followed our party. We stopped nearly three hours, and captain got the lead. About four he started to look out a camping place. He started at a right angle with the teams, went to the creek half mile distant, then signaled, but his party did not notice him and kept on. Then he trotted along aways and waved his hat. They saw him and turned around and drove back to him, but our party were not disposed to camp so early and kept on five miles farther and camped on the creek again. Soon after we stopped Will and Mose came in with two young antelope. SATURDAY, JUNE 30 Started about the usual time, and drove about seven miles, to where the road crosses and leaves Pole Creek, where stopped for dinner. PORTER left DEMING this morning and went with Mr, SNOW. Mrs. BALDWIN told Rose she might ride their Jenny that was having a rest from the harness today, so she put the side saddle on her and PORTER let Frank take Billy. We crossed the creek and climbed up a long hill onto a ridge not much wider than the road. The girls got· tired of riding, and I mounted Jenny and Hervy joined me. We had not gone far till a hail storm broke suddenly upon us and the teams were badly frightened. I thought some of them would go off that hogback sown into the canyons. They got tangled up so they could not do much but kick and thrash around. Some of them were jammed but none seriously hurt. The storm was soon spent, .and we proceeded on our way. I rode a little farther. Then Mrs. BALDWIN got on Jenny, and Wes told me to take Kate and ride with her. We rode till they went back into camp. Near where we stopped was a deep hole dug for a well, but they did not get water. SUNDAY, JULY 1 The road has been on ridge with a very rough broken country on either side. We descended the hill and watered the stock at Mud Springs, drove about a mile, stopped and got dinner. Resumed our journey half after two and soon came in sight of the court house rock. We crossed a creek of good size but it was dry. The water was sunk in the sand. Those that were riding near the Bluffs said it was a beautiful running stream when they crossed it. They call it Pumpkin Creek. Two miles farther we came to a small stream near the Rock. We camped a ways this side of it. After supper, Rose, Frank and some of the boys went up to the Rock. The Captain is camped a short distance ahead of us tonight. -27- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, So. 1 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued MONDAY, JULY 2 They got ready to start nearly an hour earlier than usual. The DEMINGS were not ready when the rest were and showed no disposition to hurry, so after waiting for them twenty minutes, we drove off and left them. The Cap's outfit was hitching up as we passed, and DEMING soon overtook them. They passed us in camp at noon and bade us goodbye. We passed them at night and camped a mile this side of them. After supper the boys played the violin and some danced. We stopped for dinner on the North Platte and camped close to it tonight near a Ranch. Passed Chimney Rock during the afternoon. TUESDAY, JULY 3 Started about six and traveled up the valley with Scott's Bluffs towering in the foreground, forming a grand and beautiful scenery. Passed through the narrow defile of the Bluffs, and came down by Port Mitchell situated at its base, halted for dinner half mile this side of the Fort on a small branch of the river. The Captain came up near us and camped. Then stopped a while to chat with the girls and boys. Half past one we were on the march again. Drove 17 miles, crossed Horse Creek, came on a mile and camped near a ranch and several Indian lodges. Drove about thirty five miles today. WEDNESDAY, JULY 4 The morning was fine and we were on the road early. Hervy rode on ahead to Laramie. We drove 12 miles over the sand hills, stopped for dinner in a valley by a small stream of water that is clear and cold with lots of fish in it, but none were caught. Mrs. MERWIN, Mrs. BALDWIN and I went up the creek about a mile ahead of the teams and found a spring of excellent water. We traveled ten miles this afternoon. The Platte was on our right, with many small Islands covered with small trees and shrubs. The sand hills and bluffs were close on our left, making a very pretty scenery. We camped near the river. It looked like it was going to storm hard but passed off with a light shower. Hervy came back to camp about dark. He says they think at Larimie that the Indians will be troublesome in a few weeks. They are all gathered in near the Forts now for a conference with government officials and are on good behavior. THURSDAY. JULY 5 We drove twelve miles and stopped for dinner on the bank of the Platte. In the afternoon we drove five mile~ and crossed Laramie river on a bridge. A short distance farther they stopped to water the teams. I put the saddle on Eagle and rode till we camped. He was gay, ran away with me when Mose cracked his whip at him. Port Larimie is about a mile up the creek from the crossing, and about the same distance from where we passed it. We drove a mile and a half from the Fort, and camped on a small ranch of the Platte. Hank was riding one o~ the white mules today and rode up to the Port. Just as they were leaving, h1s revolver went off accidentally, the ball passing through the saddle skirt, THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 -28- �DIARY OP OUR TRIP, continued into the mule. It lived about two hours after the accident. About sundown the captain's outfit came and camped close by. It showered all the evening. Rose spent the evening in our wagon. She and Prank sang the "Octoroom" and "Cottage Round the Corner" and several other songs. The boys amused themselves by singing and as they were close by, we had the benefit of the most of it. PRIDAY. JULY 6 This morning was rainy and disagreeable. Cap went back to the Port, and brought out the Sergeant to organize the train. He inspected Cap's·part first, then came to inspect ours. Some dissatisfaction was expressed and the Sergeant went and brought Cap to our camp and they talked the matter over, but Cap would not agree to let our folks do as they liked with their stock. So the Sergeant told our folks they could go on with the first company that came along, and the Cap would stay awhile. Jon and Carmine made our camp a visit, we have all been very busy baking today, camp has the appearance of an extensive ·bakery. This afternoon Mrs. M, Rose, Prank and I went to the creek bathing. Wes tended the bread and Porter the coffee while we were gone. SATURDAY, JULY 7 This day has been spent with the usual cooking and eating and talking. "Our" wagon master's train came along and the Captain's outfit are going on with the ox train, also one wagon from our party that were going to Salt Lake. The musicians and two more of our bachelor friends parted company with us. Carmine and Fayette came to bid us goodbye. Mr. SNOW bid adieu to camp this forenoon to return to Lawrence. George HOUCK and Hank MERWIN are going to Virginia City with the team. Just before sundown Mrs. B and I went up on the hills and the beautiful scenery was well worth the trouble of climbing the hills. Part of the company gathered in a social group and passed the brief evening pleasant with singing. SUNDAY. JULY 8 This is a lovely morning and memory loves to linger over the many happy hours spent with dear friends, that have now drifted far apart on the tide of life, and some have been released from the cares of this world to try the unknown realities of another. Hervy and Pa went to the Fort this morning to make arrangements for moving on. They gave them permission to move up the valley a few miles farther and go on with the first train that came along, be it mule or ox train. THe teams were brought up as soon as they returned. We drove aways over the sand hills, and came down a long steep hill into the valley again. Passed a ranch near the base of the Bluffs. We came six or seven miles and camped close to the bank of the river. MONDAY t JULY 9 The rest .of the young men that remained Preeman and SC1nsy bade us all goodby,.but Hank for anybody. (Preeman was drowned in the Big PORTER,Wes and Pa went back to the Fort this -29- with us drove on this morning, and the rest left without a word Horn before they got through). evening to see if any teams had THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 �DIARY OP A TRIP, continued come. They found several ox trains but they were going to Montana. Our folks resol ved to go on to the next Station. We started at two .0' clock, came along the base of a large Bluff that was covered up as far as a person could reach with names and dates of those that have passed that way. A sho~t distance farther we passed a ranch, and soon ascended the Black Hills where we have passed through a varied a beautiful scenery. About sundown we came to the Bitter Cottonwood. It was dry where we crossed. We drove down it a ways and found good water. There was no grass, so they drove up on the hills, where they found a little grass. It was quite dark when we camped. it seemed very lonesome with our four wagons, the smallest company since we left Lawrence. TUESDAY. JULY 10 The teams were brought up this morning soon as it began to get light. We drove about eight miles and stopped for breakfast at Twin Springs. The water bubbles up out of the ground and forms a little rivulet. We resumed our journey about eleven, came four miles and passed a ranch, where they told our folks the boys had camped near there last night and the S.S. train had stopped for dinner the day before. A short distance farther we crossed the beautiful mountain stream Horseshoe and drove to the Elkhorn, where we camped down in the basin near a deserted ranch. The S. S. train was just across the creek when we came but drove on about five. Soon after crossing Horseshoe, we passed the new road laid out to Virginia City. WEDNESDAY. JULY 11 Started again this morning before sunrise, came across a very hilly country, passed the S. Sp. train and Captain's camped on the Labontia. We crossed the creek and camped in the shade of the grove. We stopped about two hours. A short distance from the creek we passed a Port. Mr. TAYLOR was there. He said DEMING went the "Cutoff" to Virginia City. Drove five miles to Wagonhound Creek, where they found excellent grass and turned the teams out to graze, as good feed was scarce. About four the other outfit came along. Soon after we started, drove eight miles and camped near some springs. The other outfit is camped within half a mile of us. Was in hopes they would come close so we could hear the boys play the violin once more. THURSDAY. JULY 12 We had an early breakfast, and got started soon after sunrise. The other party fell in our rear as we came along. Drove to the Saferelle and stopped for dinner. It is a very pretty stream and abounds in fish. There were quite a lot caught but they were small. The Cap camped close to us, and Mr. TAYLOR and Charlie called on us. At two we were ready to march again. During the afternoon we crossed the small stream Box Elder. It is the one that the KELLY party were attacked on and Johny taken prisoner. We are camped near the banks of the Platte again and the other party.are in sight.· TO BE CONTINUED THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No. 1 -30- �ELIZABETH CAROLINE DOBBINS Douglas County Resident - 1856 to 1863 Researched by Bobby Dobbins Title 914 N. Lacy St., Santa Ana, CA 92701 Elizabeth Caroline Dobbins (my great aunt) was born in Fulton County, Illinois, on January 24, 1831. She moved to Douglas County, Kansas in 1856, and died in Bent County, Colorado on January 27, 1922.

The letter was found in John Winton's Pension Records. It outlines a sorrowful life. December 19, 1898 to Mr. Joseph W. Hunter, Washington, D.C. I received yours of the 9th yesterday. I am very sorry to hear that John Winton had just been readmitted into the National Home for D.V.S. in Leavenworth Co., Kansas on the 14th of last November and died on the 28th and I had written to the doctor asking what was the cause of his death but have not got my answer yet--will probably get it today or tomorrow. Can you give me some of the names of his commanders? -31- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 �BLIZABKTII CAROLINE DOBBINS. continued Now I will tell you something of the former part of our . lives. John R•. Winton and I were married at a hotel in Lawrence, Ks. on the 26th day of October in 1857 by a Camalite (sic) minister and we lived at what was then Prairie City, now called Media, Douglas County, Kansas, until about 1863 in the spring. We then went to Dayton, Kentucky where we lived until the fall of 1881, when John R. Winton came home in July that year with a very loathsome case of gonorrhea. In all those years we had had four children, two girls in Kansas and two boys in Kentucky. Now in 1881 we just had one daughter living, about 18 years old. She was already very sickly so I was compelled to leave him. I staid (sic) in Dayton till in December 1881, then came here to Las Animas to my brother and have been right here ever since. John wandered about from one Home to another, up in Wisconsin, at Leavenworth and Dayton, Ohio, and finally wanted to come back to me. He said he was well and wanted to come to Kansas. I had not applied for a divorce but. heard that he had, but he denied ever getting a divorce but I said I would not live with him unless he married me again. So you see he came here to my home that I had earned all myself and had three hundred and ninety-eight dollars laid by, beside taking care of my daughter and making the living for her. She died in December 1885, and now my money is all gone and I have broke myself down waiting on Him, for he has ben sick nearly ever since he had come here. I have been an invalid ever since last May, am scarcely able to cook a bite for myself. Can you do anything in this way if we cannot with the old law? Elizabeth was granted a pension, and lived alone another 24 years before passing away in Las Animas, Colorado·at the age of 91.

J. and Mrs. Nancy J. Sperry, aged 16 years, 6 months and 24 days. The deceased was' taken sick with the disease which terminated her life the first day of September last, and suffered exceedingly for nearly five weeks, when death ended her sufferings. She died of typhoid fever. Lillie was always inclined to religious thought and teaching, and in her breast throbbed a warm and tender heart. She was always ready to do good in any way that she could, and always appeared happy., even. in the midst of troubles. The funeral service was held at the mother's residence in West Lawrence on October 6 at 2 o'clock p.m., conducted by Rev. Walter Scott, pastor of the Free Methodist Church at Lawrence. The bereaved mother has not only had the care of the one just departed, but has also had the care of her son, who was on another bed at the same time, suffering with the same disease. James, the son, is very low and needs attention, although he is on the mend.
