of New Mexico was appointed by Gov of the Territory in the revolution of 1847 he was treacherously killed by Pueblo Indians & Mexicans & his death was regretted by all that knew him. As for the latter I can truthfully say that all the mountaineers considered him as their best friend and treated him with the greatest of respect. He now lives in New Mexico and commands the esteem of all the American and Mexican people who know him. At this time I had lived sixteen years in the mountains, the greater part of my existence being passed far from the habitations of civilized man. While leading this life, receiving no other food than that which I could procure with my rifle, perhaps once a year I would know a meal consisting of Bread, meat, sugar and coffee could be purchased at the rendezvous for two dollars ?? and flour was sold at one dollar. in April 1842 as the train of wagons of Bent and St Vrain were going to the Idaho?
