The corps attracted a great deal of attention as we rode through these rural, mountain districts. Horses and cows ran from us, dogs after us and the inhabitants would stop their work and gaze at us in astonishment. The entire distance covered was 126 miles in about twenty-four hours of actual traveling under most adverse circumstances.
