They sometimes pulled off strips of saddle leather to boil for a meal. They tramped for stretches as long as 45 miles without so much as a drop of water to drink. The battalion did not engage In a single skirmish with the Mexicans. Most of its members reached the Pacific Coast early in 1847. In California, some of the battalion boys were employed at Sutter's Mill when gold was discovered there.
