A Canyon Voyage

CHAPTER IV
26/39

We went into camp at the head of it on the left bank.

This day we found a number of fragments of the _No-Name_ here and there, besides an axe and a vise abandoned by the first party, and a welcome addition to our library in a copy of _Putnam's Magazine_.

This was the first magazine ever to penetrate to these extreme wilds.

The river was from 300 to 400 feet wide, and the walls ran along with little change, about 2500 feet high.
Opposite camp was Dunn's Cliff, the end of the Sierra Escalante, about 2800 feet high, named for one of the first party who was killed by the Indians down in Arizona.

We remained a day here to let the topographers climb out if they could.
