Alexander Henry, January, 1776Between Beaver Lake Fort and Cumberland Ho

"On the twentieth the last remains of our provisions were expended, but I had taken the precaution to conceal a cake of chocolate in reserve for an occasion like that which wasnow arrived. Toward evening my men, after walking the whole day, began to lose their

strength, but we nevertheless kept on our feet till it was late; and when we encamped Iinformed them of the treasure which was still in store. I desired them to fill the kettle with

snow, and argued with them the while that the chocolate would keep us alive for five days atleast, an interval in which we should surely meet with some Indian at the chase. Their

spirits revived at the suggestion, and the kettle being filled with two gallons of water, I putinto it one square of chocolate . The quantity was scarcely sufficient to alter the color of thewater; but each of us drank half a gallon of the warm liquor, by which we were muchrefreshed, and in its enjoyment felt no more the fatigues of the day. In the morning weallowed ourselves a similar repast, after finishing which we marched vigorously for sixhours. But now the spirits of my companions again deserted them and they declared thatthey neither would nor could proceed any farther. For myself, they advised me to leave themand accomplish the journey as I could, but for themselves they said that they must die soonand might as well die where they were as anywhere else."
