Excerpt from Diary of a Journey From the Mississippi to the Coasts of the Pacific, Vol. 1 of 2: With an United States Government Expedition The second, under Capt. Gunnison, was to proceed along the 38th parallel, on a line marking the nearest route between San Francisco and San Louis and the navigable waters of the Mississippi, and in its prolonga tion dividing the territory of the United States into two nearly equal parts. Finally, the third, headed by Lieut. Whipple, was to follow the 35th parallel N. L., in order that in the poorly watered prairies to the east, and the desolate wastes to the west of the Rocky Mountains, they might take advantage of the tributary streams of the Mississippi, the Rio Grande, and the great Colorado of the west.

The evenings were cold, and we all looked longingly over towards the stunted cedars, and covered ourselves more closely with our wrappers. The cool evening air was the more trying, from the heat of the day increasing so much, that at noon it was even offensive; but to make us some amends, the mosquitoes had suddenly disappeared, and man and beast were thereby delivered from one great plague. In various ways autumn was making known its coming; large flocks of birds from the far north were seen flying towards the south, making the little brooks and their banks all busy with life, and showing so little fear of the hunters, that they were shot in great numbers. Sporting of all kinds became more productive; and it was often easy, by means of the uneven ground, to get quite close up to a brood of antelopes, and select a noble buck from their midst without being seen. As game increased, so did the love of sporting; and solitary horsemen were to be seen in all directions, who had...
