• Notes

  In 1835 Lucinda moved to Sterling, Illinois, where she later married Otho James Bradley. In 1848 Bradley with wife, two daughters and a son joined other members of a large train of ox temas. The two girls took scarlet fever and they were forced to leave the train. The family remained in Sterling until the spring of '49 then joined another caravan of 200 peiole traveling in a train of thirty wagons drawn by oxen. Several men on horse-back guarded the train as Indians had given trouble to previous trains as evidenced by many skeletons of people found scalped. Although this train did not meet with Indians they could be seen lurking in the distance. Feed was plentiful for the livestock as was water. Berries grew on the river banks which supplemented the food supply. When the Bradleys reached Shasta, Ca, Mr. Bradley built the first hotel in town, mostly of logs and clay. Lumber had to come around the horn, and was very expensive. Mrs. and Mrs. Bradley came to Shasta when this camp was a city of cabins and tents, and the red man raided almost our very streets. In the spring, Mr. Bradley left to go into the hills to locate a gold mine (A prospecting trip to Trinity). Mrs. Bradley never saw him again. Two prospextors gave Mrs. Bradley her husband's memorandum book in the summer, saying they had found it on a skeleton of a man who had been scalped by the Indians. Among the may hardships experienced by the settlers was a very rainy season during the last months of 1849 and early 1850. In fact it caused a great panic in Shasta for fear that all communications would be cur off between Shasta and Sacramento. While food was very expensive, gold dust was more plentiful tan anything. After heavy reains much gold could be found in the mud in the Streets. ---- Title: Kaleidoscopic Family Bass, Author J.M. Wood Jr.
