of the tribes at this place, were called together, and a "Talk" had
with them by the Agent, and some presents given them. They all
appear to be well satisfied and have confidence in what was said
to them at the Treaty
We found some of them at work gathering in their wheat &c
On the March July 8th 1851 Left the "Texon" and again en-
tered the barren plains. Travelled about sixteen miles to a Creek
where we expected to Camp, but all the grass having been burnt
off, we concluded to Remain there untill night, and then commence
the march to Kern River.
At 7 P M we started and travelling all night reached Kern
River at Daylight
On the March July 9th There being no grass on this side of
the River; we forded across; and let our animals graze untill dark,
when we again started for a Creek eleven miles distant, on ar-
riving at Rabbit Creek we found it perfectly dry, and very little
grass for our animals, but by digging about three feet in the bed of
the stream, we found water sufficient
July 10th 1851 Remained at Rabbit Creek untill 5 O'clock
P. M. and again started on another night march. We travelled
twenty five miles by 3 O'clock, and taking a hasty snack started
off again and went twenty miles farther making forty five miles
without water, but on arriving at "Tule" River we found plenty
of good water and fine grazing for the animals
Tule River July 11th 1851 Remained at this place today to
Recruit our animals
Tule River July 12th Some Indians came into Camp today.
Some presents were given which pleased them very much.
On the March July 13th /51 Left "Tule" River this morning
and travelled fifteen miles to the "Cahwia" River, leaving two
broken down animals.
The Agent gave out some presents to the Indians at this place,
and learning that some of their people were very sick up at the
Rancheria, about a half a mile distant, went up and administered
some medicine to them.
On the march July 14th The sick Indians are a great deal
better this morning, and appear to be very thankfull for the at-
tention paid them by the Agent.
We left Camp Keyes, Cahwia River, about 8 O'clock A M and
travelled thirty miles, to the Ford on Kings River.252
