Hugh Lewis research notation:
Page 63: Poem, The Wanderer's Grave. "This lovely valley had before this witnessed the death-scene of one who left his bones to bleach within its limits. His name was Scott, from whom the neighboring eminences derive their present appellation."
Page 178: Roubideau, Roubideau's Fort. "On the 7th of October we were underway. Our party consisted of three Frenchmen and five Spaniards, under the direction of a man named Roubideau, formerly from St. Louis, MO...eight pack-mules, laden at the rate of two hundred and fifty pounds each, conveyed a quantity of goods;- those headed by a guide followed in Indian file, and the remainder of the company mounted on horseback brought up the rear.
Crossing the del Norte, we soon after struck into a large trail bearing a westerly course; following which on the 13th inst. we crossed the main ridge of the Rocky Mountains by a feasible pass at the southern extremity of the Sierra de Anahuac range, and found ourselves upon the waters of the Pacific.
Six days subsequent, we reached Roubideau's's Fort, at the forks of the Uintah, having passed several large streams in our course, as well as the two principal branches which unite to form the Colorado. This being the point of destination, our journey here came to a temporary close."
