text:  The companies ahead of us lost a great many animals at this place due to the minerals in the water. The stench was awful, and the wolves were as thick as sheep. It seemed as though they had gathered for miles around. There wasn't a wink of sleep that night for any of us. The wolves were so bold they would come right into camp, and some of them would put their feet on the wagon tongues and sniff in at the end of the wagon. Rachel M.O. Woolley
