bank of the river, you will here and there
catch glimpse OF the "old California over
land route, which calls up to memory many
recollections Of the past. How many em>
grants have toiled along it's banks in the
''Whoa haw" times, from 1850 to the build
ing of the Il. =. Il. r. How many blows
from the but of the ox-whip has fallen on the
back OF the patient oxen as they toiled along
over those almost endless plains, drawing the
ponderous white covered wagon, freighted
with the emigrant's goods. How often the
sharp ring of the rifle aroused the graceful
antelope or drowsey buffalo, frightening
them away from their morning meals of wav-
ing grass. How many tremendous jaw break
ing oaths fell from the lips of the mule driver
we will not even stop to guess. How often
the Indians roamed over those plains hunting
their favorite game, the buffalo. or meeting
some hostile tribe in fearful battle, or COM
hitting the most horrid act of violence on the
weary care Worn emigrauts. Here and there
you will see lone grave. marked with a rude
head board, Indicating the last resting place
OF some emigrant, who perhaps fell victim
to the red mans vndictiveness while defend
ing his wife aud family from the unforgivins
foe, or overcome by sickness and disease laid
down for the last time. How many sad brief
unwritten histories are connected with the
early emigran.s, who severing the ties and as
sociations of their early homes, ventured to
cross the vast Wilderness which stretched its
unbroken breadth between him and his land of
promise. What hopes, what fears, what dis
appointments. and what GROWING success
And how all is now changed few short
years ago, yonder south bank of the Platte.

trains of emigrant wagons could be seen
