A Diary of Wanderings
We re-crossed the Platte again, on the eleventh,
at the Red Hills, - these are two high cherry-red
points of rock, separated by the river,. . .
never-varying course, westward, through a sandy
plain, covered with wild sage, and at evening
encamped near a fine spring. Next day's march
brought us to Sweet-Water River, . . . owes its
name to the accidental drowning in it of a mule
loaded with sugar, some years since. We halted at
evening under the lee of an immense rock half
imbedded in the earth, which is nearly a mile in
circumference, and from one to two hundred feet
in height
