The Adventures of Captain Bonneville Chapter 3

In which Captain Bonneville and his party traverse the vast and varied prairies, encountering geological curiosities such as tabular hills and sandstone slabs, and enduring the scarcity of game and provisions with resolute good humour. Along the banks of the Nebraska River and amidst towering bluffs and rugged cliffs, they observe vast herds of buffalo and the agile bighorn sheep, all set against a landscape at once wild, inscrutable, and rich in poignant human tale.
