Criss Leonard and W. H. Harriman carried their packs for them. August 26.--Cool and nice. Road good. Walked nearly all day. August 27.--Some of the women and children are lagging far behind. Only traveled a few miles to-day. Mrs. Reede and Mrs. Harriman are not well, and they camp. Perfect harmony has prevailed ever since the robbers took the train. August 28.--Reached the Humboldt meadows. All are happy and in good spirits. August 29.--Not a cloud to be seen. The sun is beaming down on the little band of heroic emigrants that are battling for their lives. The night they crossed the forty-mile desert, Mr. Harrimans daughter gave out and sank down on the sand. No words could prevail on her to move. At last her father told her that they must leave her to die, or the whole company would perish when the sun rose. With an heroic effort, and the aid of the men, she rose to her feet and made her way to Ragtown. It was just one month to a day from the time the robbers took the train until the day they reached Ragtown, where they received relief. On September 28 Captain Harriman arrived in Yolo County, with just twenty-five cents in his pocket. He now resides in Winters, at the ripe old age of eighty-seven years. He is well known and beloved as Father Harriman. A FIGHT WITH THE INDIANS. One can not scan these pages without realizing at a glance that every pioneer who crossed the plains in an early day bore his full share of hardships, difficulties, and dangers in order to reach the gold fields. Though all along the route the land teemed with game, and the waters were full of fish, yet many sickened and died, while others perished for want of food and water. Many men and women were robbed and massacred by the Indians and the...

Download or read book Indians and Emigrants written by Michael L. Tate and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book to focus on relations between Indians and emigrants on the overland trails, Michael L. Tate shows that such encounters were far more often characterized by cooperation than by conflict. Having combed hundreds of unpublished sources and Indian oral traditions, Tate finds Indians and Anglo-Americans continuously trading goods and news with each other, and Indians providing various forms of assistance to overlanders. Tate admits that both sides normally followed their own best interests and ethical standards, which sometimes created distrust. But many acts of kindness by emigrants and by Indians can be attributed to simple human compassion. Not until the mid-1850s did Plains tribes begin to see their independence and cultural traditions threatened by the flood of white travelers. As buffalo herds dwindled and more Indians died from diseases brought by emigrants, violent clashes between wagon trains and Indians became more frequent, and the first Anglo-Indian wars erupted on the plains. Yet, even in the 1860s, Tate finds, friendly encounters were still the rule. Despite thousands of mutually beneficial exchanges between whites and Indians between 1840 and 1870, the image of Plains Indians as the overland pioneers’ worst enemies prevailed in American popular culture. In explaining the persistence of that stereotype, Tate seeks to dispel one of the West’s oldest cultural misunderstandings.
