The missing words are "on Feather River" Fremont on Feather River was also known as Fremont Landing and was just below where the Feather River dumps into the Sacramento River. In those days it might have been described as a sort of transportation hub, and it was there that John left his belongings. You've also mis-transcribed Sonoma as Sonora. Sonoma is a town and county north of San Francisco, and this is the place being referenced. The Greenwoods lived there off and on in the 1840s from the time of the Grigsby-Ide Party that they were involved with. It is the same area that Caleb was in when he was asked to assist in the Donner Party rescue. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
