You noted in your book 'Historic Inscriptions on the Western Emigrant Trails' that my 3XGreat Grandfather, Alvin Brown (A. B. Roberts) chiseled his name on Independence Rock. He did write several (11) journals of his trip to Oregon. He travels on the Oregon Trail in 1853, but I think you noted a different date by his name, can you tell me what year you saw?

(Obviously, I don't visit Goodreads too often.) Not much help from me. The only A. B. Roberts in the book is at the site Raft River in Idaho. I do remember seeing it and may have a photo of it somewhere, but I see I recorded "96" for the year. That's all I can add. Maybe I miss interpreted it or it's a different Roberts. I haven't heard of the 1853 Roberts diary. Is a copy available?

Is there any chance you were from Bay City, MI? If so, did you live on Burns Street. I am Cliff Camp and was wondering if you remembered me. Hope to hear back from you either way. I thoroughly enjoyed Rinker Bucks book, The Oregon Trail, and he referred to you many times.

Randy Brown Hi, no, I am from South Haven over on Lake Michigan, but have lived in Wyoming for many years.
