Cincinnati, E.H.Flint, 1833.

There is a copy in the Astor Library, New York.
* There were two classes of trappers, the free and those in the employ of some company.

The Patties belonged to the former class.
A band of his followers, armed, of course, with only bows and arrows, next day made a concerted attack, but were cut down by the rifles and fine marksmanship of the Americans.

As these Mohaves had been good friends to Garces, and afterwards treated Americans well till they were instigated by the Spaniards to fight, it is probable that a somewhat more conciliatory approach might have avoided the trouble this party experienced.
Farther up they reached the "Shuenas," who had apparently never before heard the report of a gun, and on the 25th of March they arrived at what we now call Bill Williams Fork.

A party was sent up this stream to trap.
