Journal of Horace Kimball Whitney:
"Tuesday the 25th. -- Beautiful morning the sun rose bright and clear [ ] fair prospect of a warm day though a severe frost last night [ ] we started at 10 minutes past 8 A M about the same time the Indians who had been round the camp during the morning crossed the river [ ] there were some very fine looking men & women among them & they were all apparently arrayed in their best garments as if for a visit [ ] a number of the brethren made trades with exchanging meal for buffalo robes &tc [ ] 0ne of them followed us a little way & exchanged his horse for a mule with Col. Markham ..............we can distinguish Chimney Rock which appears from here similar to a church steeple [ ] this is encompassed on all sides by bluffs & crags of different sizes & forms appearance presenting on a beautiful & grand appearance [ ] Bro Fairbanks is slowly recovering though his leg is yet considerably swollen [ ] the Indian dog spoken of as being just seen on Saturday morning still continues to follow the camp & is getting quite domesticated as I saw him lying near this wagon this evening"
