Shoshone Encounters Along the Railroad Line
The Shoshone people along the Pacific Railroad are described as adapting to train life, trading skins for cast-off clothing, and relying on the railroad for sustenance. The account notes two youths, a buck and a doe, with vivid attire and behavior, and portrays mixed views on civilization and Indigenous resilience. A later anecdote laments hardships and pities the people, contrasting romanticized views with harsher realities of life near the line.
