Remarks
There may be apparent discrepancies in dates of the arrival of persons in the same tens, or even the same families, due to the fact that strict organization was more or less abandoned, when we got into the narrow can[y]ons where roads were bad and breakages of wagons were frequent necessitating delay of certain teams while others passed in ahead of them.
