" The next question was, how to put eleven passen- gers in an open wagon that only held seven, for a ninety-mile and two-day drive across the Territory. It was successfully achieved by putting three of them on saddle horses ; and off we bounced into the woods at the rate of three to four miles an hour. Most unpoetical rounding to our three thousand miles of staging in these ten weeks of travel, was this ride through Washing...ton. The road was rough beyond description ; during the winter rains it is just impassable, and is abandoned ; for miles it is over trees and sticks laid down roughly in swamps ; and for the rest, — ungraded, and simply a path cut through the dense forest, — the hight and depth are fully equal to the length of it. Those who worked their passage, by whipping lazy mules whose backs they strode, and paid twenty dollars for the privilege, made the best time, and had the laziest of it.
