 Oh! God, may it please thee, in thy divine providence, to still guide and protect us
 through this wilderness of doubt and fear, as thou hast done heretofore, and be
 with us in the hour of danger and difficulty, as all praise is due to thee and not
 to man, oh! do not forsake us Lord, but be with us and direct us through.
 Harrison Rogers, Gans Prairie, May 22, 1828

Men's names with J.S. Smith

Winchuck River (June 23, 1828)

SMITH: June 23d North West 8 Miles At 3 Miles I arrived on the shore and from thence I
traveled along the shore and sometimes immediately on the beach for 5 miles and encamped
after crossing a creek 20 yards wide. The hills came within 1/2 mile or a mile of the sea, and
were generally bare of timber. The Low land along the shore and in the valleys covered with
high breaks and has some Miry springs. Many indians visited camp in the evening bringing
berries small fish and Roots for trade. [ ] In the course of the day one Mule gave out and another
ran back on the trail.

ROGERS: MONDAY, JUNE 23RD. All hands up early and preparing for a start; we was under
way about 9 o.c. A.M., directing our course as yesterday N.W., and traveled 8 m. and enc. 3
miles from camp we struck a creek 20 or 30 yards wide and crossed it, thence 5 M. further,
keeping under the mountain along the bottom and sometimes along the beach of the ocean. When
we enc., the hills come within 1/2 mile of the ocean pararie, covered with grass and brakes. A
little before we enc., we discovered the mule that packed the amunition to be missing; four men
was sent immediately back in search of it and found it, and brought to camp just at night. 1 mule
that was lame give out and was left, and another run off from camp, and went back on the
trail with a saddle and halter on. A number of Inds. visited our camp, bringing strawberrys and
commass for sale; the men bought all they brought, giving beeds in exchange. We passed a
number of wigwams during the day. One fine doe elk killed.
