Original printed stiff wraps, 82 pages, photo, minor wear. In 1859 on his 21st birthday, Riley and others left their homes in Cass County Missouri for Independence in accompany of Thomas Sublett. They were to rendezvous on Little Blue a few miles south to start their trip to Salt Lake City. The crew consisted of 36 men. There they received 250 head of cattle to brand and break to pull wagons. Riley tells of their trip and some incidents along the way and of the return trip by Old Fort Laramie and Ft. Kearney. His next trip was to Fort Lyon, Colorado Territory. Has a section on border troubles and Missouri Bushwackers, Quantrel and Kansas Redlegs. His next trip was to Fort Union New Mexico. Riley includes a section on Indian Troubles and another trip to Fort Union.
