We crossed on the fourth day of July and Peter H. Burnett who was later the  
first Governor of  California crossed a few minutes later. I remember that  
because aunt Rachel, who had gone  over some days before, had a big dinner  all 
cooked and ready for us. Someone had killed a  buffalo and aunt had a  great 
pan of juicy steaks all broiled and piping hot. We were terribly   hungry and 
after the steaks were eaten, we found that they had been broiled over  buffalo  
"chips". Mrs. Burnett was not altogether happy about it. She even  said that 
she would have  "starved before she would have eaten anything  cooked on them 
if she had known it". I guess that was not altogether  true,  for a few 
mornings later, the Hon. Peter H. was surprised when he had gone out  about daylight 
to gather a good supply before other people were up. The boys  said he was 
gathering  them in a big white table cloth.

   Dry fuel of any kind was very scarce, so even the finicky ones  were 
compelled to use  them, and after a time, used them in preference,  when other fuel 
was plentiful. They were good  tinderand made beautiful  coals that held the 
heat for a long time.
