Brackton employed riders, teamsters, sometimes Indians, to freight supplies in once a month from Durango.
And that was over two hundred miles away.

Sometimes the supplies did not arrive on time--occasionally not at all.

News from the outside world, except that elicited from the taciturn travelers marching into Utah, drifted in at intervals.

But it was not missed.

These wilderness spirits were the forerunners of a great, movement, and as such were big, strong, stern, sufficient unto themselves.
