Not illustrated. 1905 Excerpt: ...followed the caravan as best I could, sticking on my horse as long as I had the strength; after that I would go and lie in a cart on the 6 Wagghe-rousse, on la ficur du cotonnier. Wakarusa is commonly said to mean "hip deep." THE PLATTE AND ITS NAME. 203 boxes, where I was jolted about like a malefactor; very often we would have to cross deep and perpendicular ravines, throwing me into the most singular positions; now my feet would be in the air, now I would find myself hidden like a thief between boxes and bundles, cold as an icicle or covered with sweat and burning like a stove.

It comes from an immense distance, through a wide and green valley, and receives the great abundance of its waters from various branches that come down from the Rocky Mountains. The mouth of this river is 800 650 miles from St. Louis by water, and forms the dividing point between the Lower and the Upper Missouri.

Think of the big ponds that you have seen in the parks of European noblemen, dotted with little wooded islands; the Plat...
