Thursday, 9th. The part of the Company that remained yesterday went on and overtook the 2 wagons. Capt. Bartleson & Hopper returned, bringing intelligence that they had found the head of Mary’s river — distant about 5 days’ travel. Distance traveled today about 12 miles S.W. direction. The Indians stole a horse — day cool.
Imagine traveling across that at two miles per hour.
