That afternoon the company halted at Bent’s Fort, though only long enough to purchase a few supplies for a premium price then move on without delay. When they pulled out again, there was more talk about resupplying in Laramie.

That night by the fire, some voiced concerns that the cattle were thinning too fast because of grazing on the dry, sparse, spindly brush of the Santa Fe instead of the lush, taller grasses of the California-Oregon Trail. Some said they’d lose their shirts if they had to buy grain in Utah. Then the talk turned to the people who called themselves Saints. There was endless speculation about their beliefs and practices. Ellie and Liza exchanged looks as their theology was bantered about. Ellie suspected that some of the bizarre practices talked about were probably fabricated, though she didn’t say so. They seemed too outrageous to be true.
