Diary of a Journey From the Mississippi to the Coasts of the Pacific, Vol. 1 of 2 by Baldwin Mollhausen Pdf

Excerpt from Diary of a Journey From the Mississippi to the Coasts of the Pacific, Vol. 1 of 2: With an United States Government Expedition The second, under Capt. Gunnison, was to proceed along the 38th parallel, on a line marking the nearest route between San Francisco and San Louis and the navigable waters of the Mississippi, and in its prolonga tion dividing the territory of the United States into two nearly equal parts. Finally, the third, headed by Lieut. Whipple, was to follow the 35th parallel N. L., in order that in the poorly watered prairies to the east, and the desolate wastes to the west of the Rocky Mountains, they might take advantage of the tributary streams of the Mississippi, the Rio Grande, and the great Colorado of the west.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1858 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAP. XIV. WESTERN BOUND AST OF TEXAS CERRO DE TCCUMARI.--THE ROB. BEB8 OF NEW MEXICO.--TDCUMARI CREEK.--PYRAMID ROCK. Having crossed the Rocky Dell Creek, we were now beyond the western boundary of Texas, and had traversed the entire extent of this territory from the Antelope Hills to the above-mentioned river, a distance of a hundred and eighty miles. From the foot of the great table-land we proceeded on our way. The river Canadian turned towards the north, our road more towards the south, so that the space between continued to increase; and we had on the north the view of a rolling plain, and on the south the broken ridge of the Llano Estacado. The furrowed, uneven ground would not allow us to keep so far south as to be able to get fuel from the woody dells. The evenings were cold, and we all looked longingly over towards the stunted cedars, and covered ourselves more closely with our wrappers. The cool evening air was the more trying, from the heat of the day increasing so much, that at noon it was even offensive; but to make us some amends, the mosquitoes had suddenly disappeared, and man and beast were thereby delivered from one great plague. In various ways autumn was making known its coming; large flocks of birds from the far north were seen flying towards the south, making the little brooks and their banks all busy with life, and showing so little fear of the hunters, that they were shot in great numbers. Sporting of all kinds became more productive; and it was often easy, by means of the uneven ground, to get quite close up to a brood of antelopes, and select a noble buck from their midst without being seen. As game increased, so did the love of sporting; and solitary horsemen were to be seen in all directions, who had...

Westwater Lost and Found by Mike Milligan Pdf

Westwater Lost and Found: Expanded Edition is the continuing story of Westwater—a relatively short, deep canyon near the Utah-Colorado state line that has become one of the most popular river-running destinations in the Southwest—and its lasting significance to the study of the Upper Colorado River. Thousands of recreational river runners have pushed this backwater place into the foreground of modern popular culture in the West. Westwater represents one common sequence in western history: the late opening of unexplored territories, the sporadic and ultimately often unsuccessful attempts to develop them, their renewed obscurity when development doesn’t succeed, their attraction to a marginal society of dreamers and schemers, and the modern rediscovery of them due to new cultural motives, especially outdoor recreation, which has brought many people into thousands of remote corners of the West. This expanded edition brings to light historical events and explores how Westwater’s location greatly contributed to early Grand (Upper) Colorado River boaters’ knowledge and how the lush Westwater Valley and Cisco became critical stops for water, wood, and grass along the North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail. Other new additions include explorer Ellsworth Kolb’s unpublished manuscript describing his 1916–1917 boating experiences on the Grand and Gunnison Rivers; two stories relating to Outlaw Cave, one of which expands upon the mystery of the outlaw brothers; a letter from James E. Miller to Frederick S. Dellenbaugh in 1906 revealing new information about his boating excursion with Oro DeGarmo Babcock on the Grand River in 1897; and a portion of botanist Frederick Kreutzfeld’s little-known journal of 1853 that describes Captain John W. Gunnison’s railroad survey. Loaded with extensive information and river-running history, Milligan’s guide is sure to enhance readers’ knowledge of the Upper Colorado River and Grand Canyon regions. Boaters, river guides, scholars of the American West, and historians of the Colorado, Green, and Gunnison Rivers or the Old Spanish Trail will gain much from this new edition.
