Pondras? Indians, a chief of the Flatheads and part of his tribe joined us and we journeyed on to the Big ? river where we went into winter quarters. We passed this winter without being molested by the Indians. In the Spring Bridger and his party started for the rendezvous on the Green? river, Jack Robison and myself set out for the Utah? country and Robidoux Fort and then disposed of the furs we had caught on our march. In the fall six of us went to the Grand river and there made our hunt. We spent the winter at Brown's hole on the Green river. In the following Spring we went back to the Utah country and into the bear? Park where we made our Spring hunt after which we returned to Robidoux Fort and disposed of our Beaver and remained there till September. Beaver was getting very scarce and finding that it was necessary to try our hand at something else, Bill Williams, Bill Ness?, Mitchell, Frederick, a frenchman and myself concluded to start for Bent's Fort on the Arkansas river. Eventually we reached the Arkansas about 100 miles
