Transcription Notes
Breakfast at 7, then we motored to Weaverville where we transferred ourselves & luggage to a pair horse Surry and started across the mountains to White Rock, via Marshall. One of the most frightening experiences I have ever gone through. There was not a vestige of a real road until we got to Marshall, nothing but deep mud, sometimes nearly up to the axles, or huge stones & boulders. Marshall a horrible place, smelling very badly after the devastating flood it had suffered. We eventually arrived at Dr Packhard’s, White Rock at about 6 p.m. taking pretty well 11 hours over the 13 miles. A small but comfortable little house. Weather terribly hot still.Location
