BEYOND THE WEST.
nlOw ready to declare was only so much pastime.
He did not, in his romantic and interesting narrations-extending over many years in these then dist(int and lawless wilds-attempt to disguise the fact,
that he had done as a mountain man, "those things
which he ought not to have done, and left undone
those things which he ought to have done."
Upon examining my notes taken at the time, with
the aid of memory, a few incidents in the history of
this kind of life will be given, to "tell the tale as
'twas told to me." After a camp is organized, and
is on the march, a military discipline is observed; a
leader is chosen,known as a "Booshway," whose business it is to take the supervision-look after the
condition of the whole camp; who goes in advance of
the column. Near himn is a led mule, of known speed
and trustworthiness; he is the portable office of the
company; carries the books, papers and the agreements with their men. Then follow the pack animals, each bearing three packs, snugly fastened, so
as not to slip in traveling. These are in charge of
men called camp-keepers.
The trappers and hunters have two horses or mules
each-one to ride and the other to take their traps.
Should there be women or cl ildren in the caravan,
tile)y are all1 mounted. I' the oountry is safe, the
car-avani mnoves carelessly aiid stometities scattered.
