Description:
Twenty-nine Plams. between 1800 & 1900 ft. - After a long and weary stretch of sandy mesa, up & down, but generally level, we finally passed the foot of a low butte and Twenty-nine Palms came into view two miles away. What a beautiful sight was this narrow strip of green in the desloation of the burning desert. - Willow, cottonwood, mesquite, thier green crowns gladdening our hearts and rising above their crowns the light columns of the Wahington Palms. Billy [McMannie] who lives in a cluster of little tents & shades here says there ::::::::: 16 May, 1914 are 15. I count 15 in the upper eastern grove and one in the lower (western) - There is good feed now 4 to 9 miles beyond Warrens Well (Gietta Grass) and again 10 to 16 miles beyond. Within 5 miles of Twenty-nine Palms it is desolate as to feed and even the [?] look scrawny and there is no Gietta Grass worth a horse's attention. Our desert-bred pones are standing up well under the continuous going. We have left a portion of the sack of barley brought from Barstow and a very little of the alfalfa bale, but they like the Geitta Grass and work well on it.
