Incidents at his life, thoughts, and feel
ings during those terrible days when he
wandered over that mountainous county 20
little known to man. During that terriac
stern which prevailed I fow days after he

ing to reach Dotele1's Ranch, on tbs
Yellowstone. He would have accomplished
the t1ip successfully, but lost several days in
