The number of the Indians living along and ia the vicinity of the banks of the rivers was so much greater than I had ever seen living upon the same area o! country, that it pre sentcd a constant source of surprise The conclusion was then reached by me that there was no. other place on the continent, north of the tropic, the natural productions of which could support so large a population as was then living in the section of couutry to which 1 have referred. In the latter part of the summer of 1833 we entered the northern extrem-ci- y of the Sacramento valley from the Klamath lake and Pitt river couutries. "We found the northern part of the valley strewn with the skeletons and fragments of skeletons of Indians under the shading trees, around springs and the convenient watering places, upon. the banks of the river aud over the plain, where wolves and coyotes, waddling from tree to tree or over the plain, their hides distended with unnatural fatness, had dragged and denuded them. From the head of the valley to the American River but one living Indian was seen, and he was the most perfect personification of solitude that was ever presented to my view; his wasted muscles, his eyes deeply sunk in their sockets, as if there were no brain within the cranium, emitted a dull, vacant gaze, as if astonished to behold a living being, when he believed that all were dead, and he alone left, telling most emphatically of his utter loneliness, of how he ha 1 seen the destroying angel engaged in his M'ork of death on every 'hand, and wherever his eyes were (tamed, until he himself was prostrated, not killed, but left to rise upon 'his Feet and wander about among . the' boots and festering bodies of.his folk. The dwellings cf the Indians in the numerous villages located upon and along the banks of the. Sacramento river and its tributaries were void, and no foot tracks but those of fowls and wild beasts were to be seen in t tho lonely villages. As we traveled southerly the skeletons were of a fresher appearance, and before reaching the buttcs, and from thence southerly, the entire (r partially devoured bodies of the Indians, in all stages of decay, were so invariably found in aud about all the convenient and desirable camping-placethat it became necessary, iu order to escape the stench of decomposing human.! ty,teeek our night's ou the open plain beyond. After crossing Feather river, those villages along the Sacramento, which in the previous winter were each inhabited by hundreds of Indians, were desolate and the abodes of ruin. The same appalling pi oofs of the dire calamity were constantly presented to us as we traveled up the San Joaquin. Neither biblical nor profane history has portiayed such mournful results of the march of a destroying angel as were presented to our senses as we repassed through, along by and around those pilent and vacated villages, which snrne ten months before we had seen swarming with Indian life, and resoundiug with voices from hundreds of human throate. Around the naked villages graves, and the ashes of funeral pyres, the skeletons and swollen bodies told a tale - : H , s, encau-puieut- s . hot-ai- finish r bath, followed by a plunge into a cold one. .It was evident to us, from thepion, we saw, that at first the Indians bur led their dead; but when the dead became bo numerous the living not bury them, resort was had to the burning of the dead bodies, and when the living, from diminished numbers were unable to do this, they abandoned their villages, the sick aud th dvin'. and fiod by the side of the springs and pools protecting trees.
