Mr. Cobbey and his party camped in a grove occupied by other wagons, finding shelter from the rainy weather. They worked to make themselves comfortable for the evening after traveling 20 miles that day across a difficult landscape. Mr. Cobbey crossed a wide, barren plain without water where deep dust made traveling difficult. He met a returning Californian, Mr. Climens, who gave an unflattering report of life in California, causing Mr. Cobbey to feel uncertain about what awaited them there. An accident in the camp frightened Mr. Cobbey, making him initially fear an Indian attack until realizing it was merely a traveler injured by a horse.

2nd Wind from the S. Cloudy our road led us through a deligtful section of country. The rain commenced
falling bout noon. [W]ent 1/2 mile S of the road to a grove of young timber and camped. The place was
already occupyed by 50 or 60 wagons. Water good wether wet and disagreeable We brought our musculer
powers, to bear. [O]n the evening excersize rendered ergent by the inclement evening. [W]e soon had our
tent spread and our cook to work we establishe our horses and was soon made comfortable in a warm
supper. [W]e made 20 miles to day.
How would you summarize Mr. Cobbey’s experience on the trail westward at this time?
July 15, 1850
15th we now continued to cross the [sterile] plain prolific for nothing but its deep dust. This is a very level plains or
table lands at the foot of lofty bluffs we found this plain 18 miles wide and [without] water, we are now at the river
stop a feew hours to feed, had an interview with Dt Climens; a returning Californian, and formely of Pike County
Ills. [H]e does not speak very flattering of California. I sent a letter home by him…
What is Mr. Cobbey’s impression of the western plains?
How did Mr. Climens’ report of life in California affect Mr. Cobbey and his party?
July 15, 1850 (continued)
…And as we were distributing the grass provided to the animals; an incident occured: both startling and instructing.
Mr Martin, Scott of Peoria Ill (our traveling Com[p]anion) was struck by one of the animals throwing its head
around: he was brought to the ground with a heavey fall. I saw him fall, and started to his relief : but as he began to
struggle as if in the last agonies of life: And not fully knowin the cause. I suppose it might be a stroke of: or an
arrow from an Indians quiver, I paused; thinking the liveing might need more assistance thn, those already dead
I viewed [The Camp] with a quick glance, and no frightful met my view. And as Scott began to show more signs of
life I hasetened to him: by this time some of the boys came up. We helped him to his feet. and as soon as he
his senses were gone; and soon as he could stand; he threw us from him frantic with rage. It was with the up most
difficulty we could dissuade him from the belief, that some of ^us had struck him. This was a very startling scene
from its severity, and attending circumstances. Instructive as it caused us to weigh the importance of a sane mind,
and caused us to view with silent awe, the tottering throme of boasting reason's vast domain.

Chief Joseph
Chief Joseph was a Nez Perce chief born in 1840 in Oregon. He received a Christian education but favored traditional beliefs. In 1871 he succeeded his father as chief. In 1877 he reluctantly agreed to relocate his people per a treaty but fled with his band after learning of violence by some of his young men against settlers. During their flight to escape retaliation they traveled over 1,600 miles across Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana while being pursued by the U.S. Army. Exhausted and outnumbered, Chief Joseph finally surrendered in 1877 just 40 miles short of the Canadian border where he had hoped to find refuge.

13 Farewells Ad for Copeland Funeral Home
The thirteen folds of an American flag during a funeral ceremony each symbolize an aspect of life, faith, or virtue. The first fold represents life, the second eternal life, and the third honors the deceased veteran. Subsequent folds pay tribute to virtues like faith in God, love of country, and honor all members of the armed forces. The thirteenth and final fold forms a triangle, symbolizing the hats of Revolutionary War soldiers who first defended the colonies. As the flag is folded and handed to the next of kin, it provides the veteran with "Thirteen Farewells."

It remembers all ANZAC soldiers who did their duty and paid the ultimate price at Gallipoli.

July 15, 1850 15th we now continued to cross the [sterile] plain prolific for nothing but its deep dust.

How did Mr. Climens’ report of life in California affect Mr. Cobbey and his party?

Mr Martin, Scott of Peoria Ill (our traveling Com[p]anion) was struck by one of the animals throwing its head around: he was brought to the ground with a heavey fall. I saw him fall, and started to his relief : but as he began to struggle as if in the last agonies of life: And not fully knowin the cause. I suppose it might be a stroke of: or an arrow from an Indians quiver, I paused; thinking the liveing might need more assistance thn, those already dead I viewed [The Camp] with a quick glance, and no frightful met my view. And as Scott began to show more signs of life I hasetened to him: by this time some of the boys came up. We helped him to his feet. and as soon as he his senses were gone; and soon as he could stand; he threw us from him frantic with rage. It was with the up most difficulty we could dissuade him from the belief, that some of ^us had struck him. This was a very startling scene from its severity, and attending circumstances. Instructive as it caused us to weigh the importance of a sane mind, and caused us to view with silent awe, the tottering throme of boasting reason's vast domain. What fear(s) does this account reveal that Mr. Cobbey had?
