ANTOINE LEROUX, TRAPPER AND TRAIL MAKER

When the Whipple party broke up on the Pacific Coast, Mollhausen states that they tried to get Leroux to accompany them to Washington by sea. He was, however, not to be persuaded: 'No, no,' he said, 'As long as I keep upon land I know what I am about, but I know nothing of water.' 'Mr. Leroux shook hands with us all with hearty good wishes, but like a man accustomed to find acquaintances on every steppe, to remain with them awhile, share all hardships and priva-tions like brothers, and then say goodbye forever.'
