[Dickey Diaries] {William Price’s brother James, and Col. John Lucas also went on this trip. They returned to KY while Wm. M. Garrard remained in the West.}
{This was probably pivotal for William Luther Price. He, and brother, Rob, followed them to California 3 years later in the company of Uncle William Garrard’s wife and 3 children. Brother Penn Price came to CA from KY in 1860. }

1853 April MO St. Louis. Joined the Duckwall-Trahern Wagon Train bringing 500 cattle, maybe the first, to Sonora CA. Also thought to have brought mules. It was part of a larger gathering of travelers known at the Cherokee Train. Included 120 wagons and 2000 cattle.

1853 September CA Tuolumne Co. Relief Meadows. The Duckwall-Trahern group reached this area following the Walker River Trail from Nevada. This stop, a short distance from Sonora, was reached after one of the most difficult and treacherous wagon trail travels over the rugged Sierra. It is the only route that was never later used for roads railroad, pipelines, trails or even telegraph/telephone wires. Fifty of William Price’s 300 head of cattle and half of the rest of the cattle perished on this trip but all of the travelers survived. Wash Trahern brought in 750 thought to be from the original 2000. This was a remarkable trip for its many challenges. Bill Price’s aunt, Mary Woodson Garrard, and her three young children of Kentucky were on this trek to join their husband/father, William Mountjoy Garrard.

The rights to the original Price Brand has been retained [recorded by Patty's grandfather, William Luther Price 11 Aug 1863.
{Speculation that the mine Gabe claimed for Lee didn't pan out and so this may have been in lieu of that property. Gabe also, at this time didn't want to oversee the ranch. Eventually he owned one of the largest cattle raising ranches in the area. The cattle ranged from valley and foothill land in Tuolumne and Stanislaus Cos. to high meadows of the Sierra. One main camp, called Lee Price Camp was southeast of Longbarn, CA."
Eventually, but date unknown, the brothers had a rift and split the ranch exactly in half, "down to the exact number of chickens."
