Excerpt from The Children on the Plains: A Story of Travel and Adventure From the Missouri to the Rocky Mountains The morning light was stealing gently over the "Great Plains, " between the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains. In the midst of the wide prairie a company of emigrants had pitched their camp. Their white waggons had clustered there, like a flock of huge birds, the evening before, and now in the grey dawn the travellers were already astir. The smoke of their breakfast fires was slowly curling upward, and the only half-rested animals were being harnessed anew to the strong waggons. There was no spirit of cheerfulness and energy abroad in the camp. On all sides there were murmurings and bitter expressions of disappointment.
