Territories, and the great and rich
States OF the Pacific Coast, encounter
ing strange people and innumerable
hardships and Drawing many dangers

Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, passing into
California and Oregon, and there en-
joyed peculiar advantages for seeing
and investigating the resources and
curiosities OF those remarkable States.
