"The cry of

'Mexicans,' though of daily occurrence, always created a panic. Bedding,

provisions, any and everything, would be thrown off to lighten the wagons....

The prairie at times was white with feathers emptied from beds, and the road lined

for miles with household goods. Mrs. Anson Jones, wife of the last President

of the republic, tells of camps suddenly abandoned, where trunks were left

open from a hasty rummage for some needed article, and mirrors were left

hanging on the trees."
