Trailed by Indians in 1848 a perilous desert escape
An eyewitness account recounts a 1848 expedition near Ridley's Camp in Nevada to warn settlers of an Indian raid plan. Thirteen settlers, including two women and seven children, hid in a bear cave on a hill while attackers searched the area. The narrator killed a bear and two young cubs to secure the cave, defended the group against several Indians with rifles and a pistol, and led a perilous retreat to Carson City after days of thirst and hunger. The tale ends with relief and a return to safety, followed by a brief note about bread sellers in Beyrout and regional baking customs.
