Hi Margaret. I agree. The thin...Yes, Ella. Thanks!<br /><br />Hi Margaret. I agree. The things people have done for greed is incredible.<br /><br />Hi Linda, I agree. Both passes were so daunting that it blows my mind that people would be so desperate or so driven to even traverse them back then. <br /><br />Hi Melissa, There were some who did. The ones who treated the animals as they should and knew how to handle horses made it over, but there were a lot that didn't make it.

I wonder just how many who set out, actually made it with horses?Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-1693263226472523992013-07-07T07:11:42.736-07:002013-07-07T07:11:42.736-07:00Wow, this is depressing, Paty.

We took the train too. I can't believe people willingly traversed that trail. And to take horses??

I knew then I would be writing a book that would give more people insight into this part of our history. I believe from knowing your past we can correct the future.
