People of the Mojave

The Journal of Jedediah Smith
Mojave Desert crossing, Journey to California - 1826-27


Wanyuma
On the 4th night from the salt plain an Amuchaba indian that had come this far with me disappeared. I suppose he had become tired of the journey and returned. My guides had expected to find their families here but were disappointed. The next day still following the course of the River which had a strong current in places 20 yards in width and in others entirely disappeared in the sands. After a long days travel I arrived late at a Wanyuma lodge. Close by were 2 or three families of the same tribe. Here I remained the following day and in the mean time was well treated by these indians.They gave us such food as they had consisting of a kind of mush made of acorns and pine nuts bread made of a small berry. This bread in appearance was like corn bread but in taste much sweeter. As there were in the neighborhood plenty of hares the Indians said they must give us a feast.
