FIVE yoke of cattletu each wagon. |
remained all winter trading with the
Indians. and in March first started
hack with five loads Of robes and furs.
I-strack into the sand country south
of the Niohrara, and nearly persisted
with all my animals before l got out
ofit.a The water was very scarce and
salty the sand blew so that it almost
blinded me, and sometimes we could
not travelat all. When l got out of it
my cattle were all sand-bltnd,. and l
had to leave my wagons and five
woke OF the cattle who were used up.
The others we're of no use for work.
I never had such a time in all my
life in this country. This sand cnun-
try lies on the route hal the Sioux
City party say they are going this
spring. They will never cross 1t.
The way they go they would have
100 miles of this sand, alkali water
and no timber. No mar or beast can
live to 90 across it. There is no feed
at all that cattle or horses can eat.
