It was old Hughy Glinds, who lived alone in a little cabin at the edge of the great woods, and who gained a livelihood by making baskets and snowshoes, lining bees and turning oxbows. In his younger days he had been a noted trapper, bear hunter and moose hunter, but now he was too infirm and rheumatic to take long tramps in the woods. The old Squire went to the door. "Come in, Glinds," he said.
Then some one said to have been F. W. Graves of Vermont bethought himself of making snowshoes out of the oxbows and the hides of the slaughtered oxen. With these they did better. Volunteers were called for yet another party to cross the mountains into California. Fifteen persons volunteered. Not all of them were men some were mothers, and one was a young woman.
This driftwood belt often has a width of three or four hundred feet, the entangled stems and branches making it difficult for a boat to pass from one side of the river to the other. Oxbows and cut-off. Where, as is not infrequently the case, the bend has a length of ten miles or more, the water just above and below the new-made opening is apt to differ in height by some feet.
