Notes

! E89.0726.02 Skinner, M R. 765 Mesa View Dr Sp 92, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 E89.0729.01 SKU 6(4):63 Manly, W L. Death Valley in '49. excerpts: p 278: We went down the hill a little farther to the lower bottom to camp, while the barefooted, bareheaded urchins followed after to get a further look at the strangers. Before we selected a suitable place, we saw two tents and some wagons which looked like those of overland travelers, and we went toward them. When within fifth yards two men suddenly came to their feet and looked at our little party approaching as if in wonder, but at twenty steps they recognized Bennett and came rushing forward. "My God! It's Bennett!" said they, and they clasped hands in silence while one greeted Mrs. Bennett warmly. The meeting was so unexpected they shed tears and quietly led the way back to camp. This was the camp of R.G. Moody and H.C. Skinner and their families. They had traveled together on the Platte and become well acquainted and the warmest of friends, and knowing that Bennett had taken the cut-off, they more than suspected he and his party had been lost, as no sight of them had come to their eyes. They had been waiting here six weeks in order to get some reliable news, and now Mr. Bennett answered for himself. Rogers and I, belonging to another party, were of course strangers... p 279: This Mr. R.G. Moody, his wife and daughter, Mrs. Quinby, and son, Charles, all lived in San Josˇ and are now dead. H.C. Skinner was a brother-in-law of Moody and also lived a long time in San Josˇ, but he and his son and one daughter are now dead... p 283: Rogers went back to the old camp and helped them there, and I often went over after dark, when my work was done. Moody and Skinner had been active in trying to get Mr. Bennett ready to go up the coast with them. Bennett had sold his repeating rifle and with the proceeds and the help of his friends had got another ox, making two yoke for him. They fixed up a wagon for him, and yokes enough could be found where people had traded off their oxen for horses. Provisions enough had been gatherered by Moody and Skinner for them all, and Rogers would go along with the party to help them with the teams... p 297: The next day as we were all sitting on the ground I felt a sort of moving of the earth under me and heard a rumbling sound that seemed very queer. There appeared to be a motion also of the trees around us. We all started and looked a little frightened, and Skinner said he believed it was an earthquake, for he said he could see the motion in a sort of wave. It was gone in half a minute. Moody said, "How do you like California now?" I replied that I thought this part of it was a pretty good place, for there was plenty of wood, water, and grass, and that was better than we had seen in some places...
