Mojave Desert crossing, Journey to California - 1826-27


Antelope
For three days nothing material occurred. Our course was up the river which sometimes run in sight and then for miles disappeared in the sands. In places I found grass and the sugar cane and in some places small cottonwood. I also saw the tracks of horses that had been here during the summer. My guides belonged to a tribe of indians residing in the vicinity called the wanyumas, not numerous for this barren country could not support them.. At this place was some sign of antelope and mountain sheep Mr. Rogers killed an antelope which tasted quite strong of wormwood.
