4_154 Fenced Meadow. _Kern Canon Mrs Harvey continues: Coso Springs - bubbling hot spring, some acid, some sour? some with green scum, Springs about 40 mi. from Lone Pine. "None yet failed to cure a case of rheumatism". Mrs. Harvey cooked a pudding, beans, etc. in one of the springs. Wagon road, but not good one. Wonderful cures related. People taken there on mattresses, in 4 or 5 days able to work." Dr. Wooden of Independence owns the springs. __________________________________________________________ _Junction of Volcano Creek (Golden Trout Creek) and Coyote Creek with Kern River. =Lewis Camp of Forest Serv. map. |
4_155 July 25, 1900 Went up the Kern River with the Harveys of Lone Pine on a trip. In the party: Mrs Harvey, Mr. Fred Harvey, Miss Lutie Harvey, Beryl Harvey (youngest girl), Miss Eugenie Meysan, Miss Mathilda Meysan. Mrs. Harvey pointed out to me in the river bed a plant which loco's horses as badly as loco weed. (See p. 157). Mrs. Harvey tells me that the Indians use the ripe berries of Cornus pubescens, No. 975, to catch fish; berries thrown in stream, eaten by fish, the fish are "put to sleep", come to surface, float, are caught. |
