Shaw, and myself, left St. Louis on the 28th of April, on a tour of curiosity and amusement to the Rocky Mountains. The boat was loaded until the water broke alternately over her guards. Her upper deck was covered with large weapons of a peculiar form, for the Santa Fe trade, and her hold was crammed with goods for the same destination.

There were also the equipments and provisions of a party of Oregon emigrants, a band of mules and horses, piles of saddles and harness, and a multitude of nondescript articles, indispensable on the prairies. Almost hidden in this medley one might have seen a small French cart, of the sort very appropriately called a "mule-killer" beyond the frontiers, and not far distant a tent, together with a miscellaneous assortment of boxes and barrels. The whole equipage was far from prepossessing in its appearance; yet, such as it was, it was destined to a long and arduous journey, on which the persevering reader will accompany it.

He was born in in Boston to a leading Unitarian minister. He was a talented linguist at Harvard and read almost as many books in foreign languages as in English.

He died in in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, having worked as a writer, journalist and historian. Convert currency. Add to Basket.

The necessary corrections have been made in the present edition. It was a tempting sight. Last year a Dakota warrior performed a signal exploit at one of these villages. Totally ignorant of their language and assuming innate understanding on his own part, he drew a rather biased portrait. But I read it anyway. While mundane and boring at first, once it picks up speed it's a powerful, invigorating tale of the hardships of pioneer life, the close-knit people throughout, and the natural beauty of the Western United States.
