My aunt Mary Peters Ringo did a journal of their wagon train trip on the Oregon Trail in 1864. She was Johnny Ringo, the gunfighter's mom. They left Indiana in early 1864 from Wayne County and Greene County Ind. An entry on June 5 was: We travel 18 miles and camp at Little Blue Kayby to wait for Mr. GUTHRY (sic), while here I washed up all our dirty clothes, at night out camp friends came and we had some more music. (stayed here two nights)
June 7, Left and traveled 18 miles. Today Johnnie got his foot hurt quite badly by the wheels running over it, it seems to have been a day of accidents, a little boy was run over by a wagon and killed and a wagon master by the name of Hase killed on of his teamsters, shot him through the head. The murdered man leaves a wife and children.
