summary:
  Great mountains of clay or stone, in all sorts of grotesque shapes and of many colors, constantly attracted our attention until we reached the Yellowstone River, which was higher than it had been for many years. The road is a very good one, passing over rushing streams and along the bases of great mountains, amidst magnificent scenery.

  The blob or miller's thumb existed in the Gibbon river, and perhaps in other streams, above the falls. * * * * * Then there are Slough Creek, Hell-Roaring Creek, East Fork, Trout Lake, and a host of other streams and lakes that have been favorite resorts with anglers for years, and in which may be taken the very leviathans of six, seven, eight, and even ten, pounds' weight.

  [Illustration: THE BLACK GROWLER.] Returning from the Black Growler, we halted at a lunch-station, the manager of which is Larry. Beyond this, other mountains rise from the gulf, many of which resemble the Step Pyramid at Sakhara, one of the oldest of the royal sepulchres beside the Nile.

  The Discovery of Yellowstone Park Journal of the Washburn Expedition to the Yellowstone and Firehole Rivers in the Year 1870

summary:
  Like other mountain men, he had doubtless, many a time, produced a fire by friction; and he could not account for the existence of a hot rock in the bed of a cold stream, except upon the theory that the rapid flow of water over the smooth surface evolved the heat, by friction. Ever since the first year of my residence there I had frequently heard rumors of the existence of wonderful phenomena in the region where the Yellowstone, Wind, Snake and other large rivers take their rise, and as often had determined to improve the first opportunity to visit and explore it, but had been deterred by the presence of unusual and insurmountable dangers.

  The finest of mountain water, fish in the greatest abundance, with a good supply of game of all kinds, fully satisfy the wants of the traveller, and render this valley one of the most attractive places of resort for invalids or pleasure-seekers in America. Often, while clinging to the jutting rocks with hands and feet, to reach a shelving projection, my grasp would unclose and I would slide many feet down the sharp declivity.

  This deposit varies in thickness from a few inches to several feet. In boiling, the big bubbles lazily lift several inches high, and more lazily burst with a muffled noise, and sputter dabs of thick paste several feet into the air.

  There are a few horses among some of the Indian tribes around here, and it might be--there, look, something is coming yonder, Dick! Don't move again, Roger; it is an Indian brave, and there follows another, treading in his trail. Don't move yet, Roger, whispered Dick, after the last figure had gone some little distance along the trail; I believe there is another party coming.

  Soberly she dropped her eyelids, seriously she raised them, and with the manner of one who, breaking intimate converse at the parting-place, bids farewell to a dear companion, she breathed, Good-by!

Kissed Cavanaugh's mare, Old Flora, on nose after Miss Frayn had patted her on said spot.
