there was a man that wished to do good he was that man.He never feared danger when duty required his presence among the savages and if good works on this earth are rewarded hereafter I am confident that his share of glory and happiness in this next world will be great. In twenty days the rendezvous broke up and I and seven men went to Brown's hole? a trading post. I then found Thompson & Sinclair's party on a trading expedition to the Navajo Indians. we secured thirty mules from them and returned to Brown's hole?. Thompson then took the mules to the south fork of the Platte, disposed of them to Sublete? and basques and came back with goods that would be suitable for trading with the Indians. I was soon employed as the hunter for the fort and continued as such during the winter. My duties consisted in keeping twenty men in provisions. In the Spring I found Bridges?, in the party there were three Canadians, Dick Owens and myself and we five set out for the black hills on a hunting expedition We trapped? the streams in the vicinity of the hills. Then we separated Owens and myself taking one course and the Canadians another. We trapped for three months made? a very good hunt
