Notes
"I started on the 6th of May 1854, travelled across the plains in company with a lot of other elders, separated on the Missouri River, some of us going to St. Louis to get our appointments and fields of labor. I traveled in Mississippi, Tennessee and Illinois, all alone, wherever the people would open their doors and ears to hear. But my healt(h) being bad, I returned home in the fall of 1856, on the 8th of September." ( George Washington Hickerson and His Adventures taken from Family Search Memories)
