This is only indirectly related to the W...Carolyn,<br /><br />This is only indirectly related to the Wrigley family but here goes. My great, great, great uncle (Luther) traveled to California from New York in 1861. We have the journal he kept on this trip. After trying his luck in Ca. for a year he decided to return to New York. He walked east, over the Sierras and met a Mormon freighter (David Savage) in the desert of Nevada in late 1862.<br /><br />He traveled with Savage to Cedar Fort area and spent the winter. The following year he hired on to be a drover on the Nebeker train bound for Omaha. I have searched but he does not mention Joseph. Too bad.<br /><br />An interesting coincidence of history. I enjoyed reading the story of Joseph's life.<br /><br />Jan SkidmoreCarolyn Johnson Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071917270448622189noreply@blogger.com
