oxen On This Day In Oregon

"Wednesday Aug the 4th...to day we took the Oregon Road leaving the California Road to the right...passed 6 or 700 Indians going towards Bear River...one light wagon with hundreds of horses or ponies...several showers of rain passed around with considerable shower of hail just before us as it laid thick in places when we came up...traveled about 16 miles to day."
