"Wllllan F. Drannan. in his 'Thirty-one Years on the Plains and in the Mountains.' tells of his contact with "Mountain Phil.” Although Drannan's book is unreliable in various particulars, his story is given for what it may be worth. While he and 'Uncle Kit' Carson were trapping in the late '4o's, they came upon Mountain Phil at the site of present Denver. Phil asked to trap for Carson. 'All right, Phil,' said Carscn. I will give you a job, but you will have to stop alone, for none of my men will 1ive with you.' 'All right.' said Phil'. Me and Kloock (his squaw wife) will be enough to stop in one cabin anyway.'
Early next spring Charlie Jones, one of Carson's men, visited Phil to see if he needed any supplies. Upon his return, Jones remarked: 'It seems that Mountain Phil has been faring better than any of us, for he has been able to kill his meat at camp, thereby saving him the trouble of having to get out and hunt for it.’
“Johnnie and I did not understand what he meant by this so, after hesitating a moment. Jones said: 'Boys. If I tell you what i know about Mountain Phil, you would not believe it, but as sure as you live he has killed his squaw and eaten most of her, and he has left his camp.'
Little and Hanks, famous mail carriers between Salt Lake and Missouri River, came upon 'Old Phil” on the North Platte in January, 1857. He and John Snead had been sent from Ash Hollow through the deep snow to Port Laramie by Major Drips for fresh cattle. On their return, they were overtafcen by the mall carriers, 'They were wretched looking men: lank. lean and sunken eyed. With their poor diet, severe labor and exposure to cold, they were rapidly approachmg the fate of the exhausted animate they bad left strewn along tjeor trail .... -Mr. Snead said for several days he had been afraid to walk ahead of Old Phil in the trail for fear he would kill and eat him.’
