under the command of Captain Kirk-:
Patrick, which discovered the Yosemlte :
valley. This was in the spring of 1851. '
In a highly Interesting diary, composed [
of drawing and story, he tells of the
wonder of the party when beholding !
the scenic beauties unfolded before |
their eyes. This diary also contains in- j
teresting passages dealing with the life
of the Indians, and tells of Major James i
P. Savage, one of the early Indian |
fighters, and his 26 Indian wives.
Eccleston made three trips across the
plains. In 1867 he went to New York,
and upon his return to the west settled
in Arizona, where he lived for three !
years, acting as agent for the Pino In- I
dians. After 15 years' residence in the j
new city of Tombstone, Ariz., he moved
to Oregon, and lived there with his
family until 1900, when they came to
Oakland. , '■
