NEB SKA h JAMES C OLSOH, Suptriniendent CYATX HISTORICAL SOCIITT Judging from their diaries and letters, nothing on the long trip from the Missouri River to Cali fornia or Oregon left a more lasting impression on the cov ered wagon emigrants than those sudden violent stones which came up on the prairies. Present day Nebraskans know something about those storms, too. Consider, though, the prob lem of facing one, with all your worldly goods packed in a not too sturdy covered wagon. At their worst, the prairie storms provided a not to be forgotten experience for the overland emi grants. James Pratt, bound for Cali fornia in the gold rush of 1849, described a hail storm near the upper California crossing. His own words tell the story very well: "The lightning flashed, and the heavens crashed with thun der, as fierce and terrible as the description at Sinai Mount. The hail came with a , roar.'. The cry was, 'unloose the cattle from the wagens, and let them go.' Some succeeded in doing so; but so sudden and terrible was the storm, that, in mass the cattle wheeled with the wagons, for "they were facing the storm, and amid the terrors of the scene, the expedition seemed to be de stroyed, and our hopes and lives jeoparded. Many were badly injured with the hail stones which cut their faces and heads. I received a blow on each side of the head which made the 1 stars appear Fortunately, though, the dam age was not serious. Two wag on tongues were broken, but i these were speedily repaired and J within two hours the train ( moved on. j That same summer, according ' to Alonzo Delano, also bound for California, a hurricane near the forks of the Platte resulted in the loss of hundreds of cattle and the virtual ruin of some wagon trains. The high wind brought a driving rain which 4P continued all day. That night, ' Delano wrote, "We turned into Service Calendar our damp beds with a feeling of cheerfulness, though not de-!

The light ning is truly terrific and when accompanied with wind, hail, and rain as in this case it is truly sublime. To this storm I attribute G's death." .
