Abstract
"The route is almost an impracticable one and great credit is due to the men for their fortitude and forbearance making the trail without a murmer of complaints for the hills were on very precipitous--and the animals so very week for want of grain, not having seen any for two months--and without shoes on them, that they were compelled to walk about two-thirds of the way, and that too, barefooted and naked, for many of them were as destitute of shoes as they were the day they were born, and had no pantaloons except such as they had themselves made out of barley and flour sacks. The weather was freezing cold, heavy frost every night and on the 4th a heavy snow storm; still the men plodded on and stood guard at night leaving the blood from their feet upon the rocks and snow."
