A great mistake was made In choosing this route,
though had the rivers not been unusually high we could
have forded both Grand and 0sage Rivers, where we
crossed without difficulty. The streams ia this vicinity
rise and fall very rapidly, but at Warsaw we shouia
have had q ferry working by machinery, and capable
Of canJ ing our army across in TWO days, while the
Grand River running iuto the Usage above tlst point
We would have had but one instead of two rivers to

days and nights in crossing for which the ferry man
was paid 500
