Autobiography of John Haslem Clark

"Autobiography of John Haslem Clark", DUP Pioneer History Collection, Page 4, 6.

In the spring of 1850 we joined Mother's eldest son, George Peacock, who was on his way to Utah with a fine outfit and able to help us. Mother [Mary Noddings Clark] still had the four youngest Clark Children. My brother Thomas was fourteen and I was seven. A young man named Jake Wyric who was anxious to get to California, helped Thomas get our outfit ready. We had one wagon, one yoke of oxen and two cows.


I rode a large stallion belonging to Jake Wyric and drove the loose cattle. As I was only seven my legs were so short they would hardly reach across his broad back. At first I was in constant danger of a tumble, but soon grew to be at ease perched up so high where I could look over the miles of weaving grass.


Large herds of buffalo could be seen daily, sometimes feeding, but oftener trailing one behind the other in trails worn so deep by their hoofs they could sca[re]cely be seen. We had fresh buffalo meat most all the way. Sometimes they were killed without leaving the wagon train. We salted enough to last us through the following winter.


We reached Salt Lake City on September 9, 1850 . . .


The next few years were spent making trips to the Missouri River to help emigrants to Utah. There were three other boys and we herded 450 head of oxen at night. We traveled 2000 miles, many nights wet to the skin and depending on the flashes of lightning to see the straying cattle. I made four such trips. Jack Hall was my buddy.

The "Deseret News" published the following:FROM THE PLAINS
 
Fort Laramie, Aug. 25, '63.
 
Editor of the Deseret News:
 
	
Sir—Knowing the anxiety of the Saints in the mountains to learn the progress of the several trains enroute for Salt Lake, I embrace this opportunity of sending a few lines from this point. The company over which I have charge left the Elk Horn on Monday the 27th of July, and arrived at Laramie, Aug. the 25th, in the morning. It includes fifty church wagons, loaded with machinery and passengers, and eighteen independent wagons. There are about five hundred souls under my charge. The names of the Church emigrants I expect you have received a list of before this time.	
During the two first weeks of our journey the weather was very wet, not affording us dry roads two days together; notwithstanding the health of the company has been very good considering the state of the people when we left the Missouri river. There has been eight deaths—two old persons, five children and Amelia Stumpf, aged 28, killed by lightning. We experienced, last Friday the 21st inst. one of those sudden and terrific thunder storms, killing the young woman, leveling to the ground, as though dead, seven of the cattle in the lead team and shocking both man and beast for quite a distance down the train. Our cattle are in good traveling order and all the teamsters in good spirits. There is but very little water in the Platte river, which indicates a very dry season in the upper country.	
Elders Needham, [Jacob B.] Bigler and [George] Peacock are in company. We have all safely forded across the Platte this morning.
