Prospects of Bear River valley settlers and a fatal river crossing
From Salr Lake City a Utah expedition reports on the Bear river valley promising hay lands and grazing with forty miles of Snake River settlement. The narrative recalls rugged mountains, water scarcity on the White and Green rivers, and a drowning at the Uintah crossing involving Clarence N. Abbott. The party notes Ute reservations, Mormon Hebrew City, and the plight of Shirts colony survivors, ending with observations on early settlements and native life.
