Show Record Grand River to the junction and then up the Green River to Greenriver City on the return trip. That journey was made in August 4608 and September. We did some trapping on the way back. In 1897 I made a short trip down the Green River from Greenriver, Utah, with my wife, my father, my young baby, Mrs. 4609 Kendall and Jim Ross. We went down the river about 20 or25 miles. We had no life preservers along. In 1897 I left Greenriver and went to Texas and came back to Greenriver, Utah, in 1903 or 1904. On my return I made a few short trips on the Green River to Wolvertone's Camp. I then left Greenriver and went to Nevada and returned to Greenriver again in 1908 or 1909. 4610 Upon my trip to Greenriver, Utah, from Nevada I made a trip on the Marguerite from Greenriver, Utah, to Moab. We had between 25 and 30 men on the boat. They were business men from Salt Lake City, called " Salt Lake Boosters". That trip was made 4611 in 1909. I was one of the crew on the Marguerite. After we arrived at Moab with the party we came back by river with the boat to Wimmer's ranch. Wimmer owned the Marguerite. That was his ranch where we left his boat. In 1910 I made a trip down the Green River and up to Indian Creek in an 18 foot boat, about 3 1/ 2 or 4 foot beam, with my wife and three boys. My oldest boy was 14, the next 10 and the other one was 6. There was another boat that accompanied the Marguerite on that trip. It was a power boat. I do not remember whose boat it was. I think it was a screw boat. The Marguerite was a paddle 4613 wheel. Defendant's Exhibit Marked 17 is the boat I used to take my wife and family from Greenriver, Utah, to Indian Creek on the Colorado River. I believe I made that trip in September. It was just a pleasure trip. We had no life preservers along. Defendant's Exhibit No. 17, being photograph of boat used by H. T. Howland and family in going from Greenriver, Utah, |
