The lean-to you lived in was the one with a canvas roof that the cow fell down through one night, as told about by you in ROUGHING IT--my uncle Simmons remembers it very well.

He lived in the principal cabin, half-way up the divide, along with Dixon and Parker and Smith.

It had two rooms, one for kitchen and the other for bunks, and was the only one that had.

You and your party were there on the great night, the time they had dried-apple-pie, Uncle Simmons often speaks of it.

It seems curious that dried-apple-pie should have seemed such a great thing, but it was, and it shows how far Humboldt was out of the world and difficult to get to, and how slim the regular bill of fare was.
