A sequence of events is a set of events that occurred along a specific time, in the case of narrative texts these events are not only linked to time, but to people, places, experiences and feelings and because of this, a sequence of events can be told in different ways and using different types of details to describe them. In the case of the text presented in the question, the author Margaret Frink aims at telling the events during a trip with her friends while it seems they are looking for gold. For doing this Margaret is very specific with time as she writes the date "Saturday, June 15" and the hour the events began "eight o'clock", also she describes the miles they drove "twenty-six miles" and where they camped "within three miles of the crossing of the North Platte". This means the author mainly connects the events by date, time or distance as almost all the events described are detailed by using these features, which allows the author to organize the events in time and let the reader know the details connected to the events.
