Mojave Desert crossing, Journey to California - 1826-27


Colorado River
On my arrival at the settlement I was treated with great kindness. Melons and roasted pumpkins were presented in great abundance - At this time it was low water yet the Colorado was 200 yards and in the shoalest place I could find 10 feet deep with a smooth current. The timber in this vicinity consisting of the Cottonwood and a small species of Honey Locust with some willow extends entirely along the river varying in width from ½ to 2 ½ miles in width the river winding through woodland from one side to the other alternately.
