HORAE SUBSECIVAE LETTER TO JOHN CAIRNS, D.D. 23 RUTLAND STREET, 15th August 1860. MY DEAR FRIEND, When, at the urgent request of his trustees and family, and in accordance with what I believe was his own wish, you undertook my father's Memoir, it was in a measure on the understanding that I would furnish you with some domestic and personal details. This I hoped to have done, but was unable. Though convinced more than ever how little my hand is needed, I will now endeavour to fulfil my promise.

This historic journal was published in 1888 and tells of a family's overland journey to the Pacific.Excerpt:March 15, 1849. Our final arrangements were made yesterday,and all were ready this morning to start on our long trip toCalifornia. Our families and friends watch us from the CourtHouse, as we wend our way down the hill towards the river,and at the last bend we wave our last adieu to our loved ones. The day is rather cold with threatening clouds, andwith heavy hearts and feverish hopes, we ride on. Our party is small, but many will join on our way and at Independence,hundreds will be on the trail.Our company consists of Thomas S. Lowry, Jarius Palmer,John Roberts, James Reynolds and Henry A. Wood. I ridemy bay horse, two others ride, and two drive in wagons,which carry provisions and clothes, and such things as weneed.We travelled sixteen miles to Weaver on French Broad River,arriving in a very hard rain, and it was with difficulty thatarrangements were made for the right. Roberts and myselfslept in one waggon while the rest were kindly furnished witha comfortable bed in the house. This evening I was initiatedinto the mysteries of washing dishes. I fancied I did the thing up "brown".March 16th. The next day the rain stopped and we left campand travelled as far as Bartlett's, twenty-three miles, whenthe waggon broke down and had to be repaired. Wood andI walked over the bridge to the Warm Springs and I wassurprised to find the water quite warm. The Warm Springsare situated in a healthy and romantic valley of the FrenchBroad River, and are owned by Thos. Patton, Esq., whohas fitted up an extensive establishment for the accommo-dation of invalids, who are generally restored to theirwanted health by the medicinal waters. The next day we left Bartlett's at seven o'clock and drove toMcMahoney over very bad roads. The day was very wet andwe were put to our wit's end in setting our tent and cookingsupper in the rain. Reynolds was taken quite sick but soonrecovered. The falling of the rain was dreary, and ourthoughts wander back to those sitting around the home fire.

We encounter a host of hardy animals and plants that have found the most extraordinary ways of coping with the extremeconditions: a lizard that squirts blood from its eyes, scorpions that glow in the dark, a latter-day dinosaur with a venomous bite, cactuses as tall as houses. The vivd first-person account is illustrated by the author's own breathtaking scenery: vast, ancient volcanoes and rocky canyons that areetched deep into the Earth's surface.John Brown is a wildlife cameraman who has worked all over the world. His travels have taken him from freezing Arctic to steaming rainforest, and from tropical islands to baking-hot deserts, where he has filmed a huge variety of extraordinary wildlife. He lives in Oxfordshire.
