Across the Plains account of peril and a deadly tornado
The narrative describes a caravan crossing plains with eleven men and several teams, cabled wires cut and repaired, two men killed during repair, native threats, delays near Setter grass, storms, floods, and a claim of faith amid danger. It notes Washakie’s courtesy from General Grant, a whiskey case issue with Native witnesses, and classroom notes from Mrs. Rous's staff.
