The lot of the American pioneer has not always been a happy one. As disasters came to the settlers at Jamestown. so did they also come to those upon thd Colorado. The wisest forethought and the most prudent administration could not avoid some degree of disaster. and so. in the next year or two. many of the less hardy emigrants returned to the United States. Supplies that had been shipped from New Orleans did not arrive. seed were scarce. crops failed. and the savages were annoying. But during all these trying times Austin never wavered in his faith nor ceased his exertions for the benefit of the settlement.
