Supplies for the voyage (food rations and equipment) were cached along the
route, and homesteads existed in some of the "parks" along the
Green River. These horses may have belonged to one of the homesteaders in
the canyon or may have been part of a pre-arranged supply party for the
Second Expedition. |
