Leaving the station,
we cross Green River
on a fine bridge, the
cars passing along
through heavy cuts,
almost over the river
in places, affording a
fine view of the frown-
ing cliffs on the east
side of the river.
Twenty miles to the
northwest a large bar-
ren butte, pilot-knob,
stands in _ isolated
loneliness. Soon we
turn to the left, leav-
ing the river, and pass
along a dreary barren
waste for 13.4 miles,
and arrive at

Bryan—a desert-
ed old station. The
country around is bar-
ren, composed of red
sand, and uninviting
in the extreme. We
are again increasing
our elevation. The
road was completed
to Bryan, Septem-
ber, 1868, and large
amounts of freight
was delivered here to
be reshipped to the
westward. From this
station to the north-
ward, it is 80 miles
to the Pacific Springs
on the old “ California
trail,’ and 90 miles
to Sweetwater.

At one time stages
left this station for the
Sweetwater country,
but they have been
transferred to Green
River station. Freight
for the Government
posts, and country to
the northward, Atlan-
tic City, South Pass,
&c., is hauled from
this station by wagon
teams as of old.

Bryan, during its
early days, was quite
lively, and troubled
