In the middle of the day it was hot and dusty and I 
got inside. The dense tobacco smoke made me awfully sick and 
I again got outside. Horses were changed about every twelve 
miles. 
The first day took us about 60 miles, driving four horses 
the whole time. Ye took dinner at a station and at its con- 
clusion a new driver with six fine horses was waiting to carry 
us over the first lT divide. TI I never saw such driving or so 
intensely enjoyed a ride. Rushing with the utmost precision 
through narroY/ and crooked places over bridges and among rocks,

science. We entered Marsh Talley toward evening and during 
the night passed through Port Heuf. Mr*. Herring got out at 
daybreak for one purpose of going to Fort Hall Y/here G-anett and 
Wakefield were stationed. In the forenoon we crossed the 
unaxe River by Taylor’s bridge. Passing through a narrow and 
rocky gorge the current is very swift. 
(From Taylor’s bridge no notes were made of the 
drive to Fort Fills near Bozeman, Montana, a 
trip of four days and nights.)
