A Yes. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q When did you find that out? A We found that out in the spring of 1872, when we went up to explore that region, we got into the same difficulty that Hamblin had gotten into. Q You didn't know it when you got to the mouth of the Dirty Devil river; simply found there were no any supplies there? A We had had information at Uintah that there wouldn't be any, because Hamblin had already failed to get there, and had sent an Indian runner into the Uintah agency to tell Powell he couldn't get to this place. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q That river, or that place where Hamblin tried to come down, isn't that described today on the map as False river? A No, Escalante river; we named it that. The singular thing is, both expeditions passed the mouth of that river without discovering it; that is the one reason my the mistake was made, so far as we were concerned. the record, what is the Spanish name for that place? Q When you got to the Crossing of the Fathers -- by the way, for the record, what is the Spanish name for that place? A Elvada, Delos Padres. |
