surface.--_Original note._

[72] The Wind River Mountains, a range of the Rocky Mountains, running
northwest and southeast, in Fremont County, Wyo., and of which Fremont
Peak, of 13,790 feet, is the highest altitude. It was the ultimate limit
of Fremont's expedition of 1842, and he presents a view of these
mountains in his _Report_. Washington, 1845, opp. p. 66. This range was
earlier described, _e. g._ in Irving's _The Rocky Mountains_. Phila.,
1837, vol. 1, p. 62-63.

[76] The South Pass, "the most celebrated pass in the entire length of
the Continental Divide" and where "the traveler, though only half-way to
his destination, felt that he could see the beginning of the
end."--Chittenden, vol. 1, p. 475. It is in Fremont County, Wyo. Delano,
p. 115, describes it. Gold was discovered here and it became a great
goldmining center, for which see Coutant's _Hist. of Wyoming_, vol. 1,
chap. XLIII.

[77] The Pacific Springs empty into Pacific Creek, an affluent of the
Big Sandy River, in Fremont County, Wyo. Here is the first water that is
met flowing into the Pacific Ocean. _Cf._ Delano, p. 115. Chittenden,
vol. 1, p. 476, locates it as 952 miles on the Oregon Trail.

[78] A cattle disease through which the core of the horn is lost.

Mountains.
