Answer: A. When Indians stole the horses of another party.
Margaret Frink was a pioneer woman in the 1850s. She and her husband travelled from Indiana, where they had been successful merchants, to Sacramento, over 2,000 miles. Like many others, they were excited by the gold discovery in California. Frink's detailed diary remains a classic account of pioneer history.
In her diaries, Frink displays a biased view of American Indians. An event that confirms this biased views is the fact that Indians stole the horses of another party.
