Comment |
'In 1849, a group of emigrants left the established old Spanish trail to the south on their way to seek gold in California. Inhospitable weather and terrain forced them to abandon their wagons on the east rim of Pine Park Canyon. They proceeded on foot with their horses and mules but before leaving the area, two men, Wesley Smith and Henry W. Bigler (who later became governor of California) engraved their initials in a cliff: "WHB, Saturday, Nov. 3, 1849".'--Beaver Dam State Park web page, http://parks.nv.gov/bd.htm |
