Shot on location of Oregon's Trail of Tears Day 26 March 18th 1856 (Tuesday) “Cloudy and threatening rain. During the night an Indian died, which delayed us a short time to bury, however by nine o'clock we were in readiness to start. We traveled over a level flat country, in places quite muddy. The greatest difficulty we experienced is in obtaining grass for our cattle, which we find to be exceedingly scarce. We drove today a distance of twelve miles. Camped on an oak grove near the claim of Mr. Smith.” - George H. Ambrose - Indian Agent
