Escape From Captivity Through the Great Plains
A survivor recounts months hiding from Camanches and wolves after an attack near New Mexico. Juan Jose aided by providing bread and a horse, leading to rescue by a trading party. The narrator reaches Pecos and Santa Fe, thanking Gov. Merriweather and Mrs. Adams of the U S Army, while describing ongoing concerns for two sisters still held captive. The Oregonian reporter then notes Mormon settlements at Great Salt Lake City with adobe villages and evidence of industry surrounding the basin.
