76 1858 Across the Plains Nov 19 Friday.- The guide unclear some cause to us unknown is now taking us on a different course from S.S.W to N.N.W. Country unchanged-passed a beautiful lake-game in abundance, the country is literally alive with deer. Wood, water and feed plenty. The guide killed a deer at noon, but made sad work of it in cutting it up. He saved the entrails after stripping them, and cook them for his supper. Weather very cold. Traveled 12 miles. Nov 20 Saturday.- Traveled about fifteen miles-no changes in the features of the country. Crossed two streams, wood water and game plenty. Weather cold. 15 Nov 21 Sunday.- Traveled about fifteen miles and again entered the mountains at the [Koottonais] Pass
