Went to a dance at the Fort in the evening. Some nice time. Jack and Oliver went to Gardner by horseback. Got a box of bread and some beef steak. Tasted mighty good. Think we are getting fed up on ham, bacon and fish. Both of them got a shave and hair cut. Maude and Jack Clay went to Gardiner and took train home to Dillon. Lulu made quite a hit with one of the soldier boys. Went sight seeing all the afternoon--two soldiers as guides. Had some more ice cream.
Recollections from John Shaffner:
Jack Clay left the party at Gardner and returned home. Years later he was in a Butte hospital, incurable, and shot himself.
Recollections from Norman, Lester and Jim:
Ollie and Norman fought to ride the grub wagon (chuck wagon) drive by Jack Clay. Uncle Jim drove the grub wagon after Jack Clay got made and left. The surrey was drawn by two mules borrowed from Charlie Humes. Jack Shaffner drove them. Probably they all traded around in driving the different rigs.
Labeled: Golden Gate Yellowstone
I am not quite sure where this is, but wonder if it is on the way to Gardiner
Which falls? Tower or at Firehole River or Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone?
I would think this horse and wagon might have gone to Yellowstone
