• Histories		Biography of Sylvanus Collett Written by his brother, Charles M. Collett in 1965 at the age of ninety. An Excerpt: "Father sold his sheep and bought cattle, so he had 300 head. So RS and Vest became the cowboys. They drove all those cattle for six months thru desert infested Indian land. The water was so scarce, they had to keep a sharp lookout for water signs made by the Indians. The water holes often had a scum on it filled with wigglers, so it had to be strained thru a cloth, then boiled. ... One day the water sign was missed, so we had to travel two days and one night to find water, the cattle became crazy, one cow chased Vean and on the edge of a steep gully he managed to dodge her, she went down the hill to her death, he barely escaped."
  		Sylvanus Collett Biography A 1952 account of the life of Sylvanus Collett by his son Orin. An Excerpt: "In the month of April 1881, they (the family) answered the call to move to a new place. This time it was Arizona. At this time my father was fourteen years old and his brother Ruben was sixteen. They left Escalante with 200 head of cattle, 100 head of horses and three wagons and one thousand dollars in cash. Father and his brothers Ruben and Sylvester had to drive the loose cattle and horses. The country was rough and there were no roads for the wagons. It was slow and hard work. Many times the wagons had to be lowered down over the steep banks and sandstone ledges with ropes and saddle horses." - See more at: http://www.myfamilyonline.com/getperson.php?personID=I37&tree=T6#sthash.8LDbF6cI.dpuf
