Inscription, Antoine Robidoux

Inscription of Antoine Robidoux 1837. Kelly 1933. (Photo, taken by Charles Kelly in 1933, of an inscription carved in 1837 along Westwater Creek during fur trader Antoine Robidoux's expedition to establish a trading post along the Green River in the Tavaputs Plateau country. See website: http://historytogo.utah.gov/utah_chapters/trappers,_traders,_and_explorers/antoinerobidoux.html )

Antoine Robidoux passe ici le 13 Novembre 1837 pour etablire maison traitte a la Rv. vert ou wiyte (Translated from the French, this means: "Antoine Robidoux passed here 13 November 1837 to establish a trading post at the Green River or White." Or, because the third letter of the word "wiyte" has deteriorated and there is an accent mark over the final "e", the last phrase may read, "at the Green River or Winte (Uinta)." Also, "1837" may read "1831" instead.)
