in February crossed the river enroute for the mountains when through mud and storm we traveled west, at Richardsons Point.
Bro. Edwin Little, Son of Susan Stilson died. he was my friend and I mourned his loss. when we arrived at Garden Grove I was sent back to Nauvoo with a span of horses and carriage to trade them for Oxen and waggon. Prest Young sent for many things needed in camp in case I could get any of them. I was greatly blessed obtained every thing he sent for and brought his wife Harriet Cook to the camp where I arived shaking with ague in time to help mow the hay for winter. this was winter quarters on the west bank of the Missouri River. as winter set in I was sent in charge of Prest Youngs and Kimballs Cattle over 100 miles up the river to the Rush Bottoms where a man by the name of Lathrop wintered[.] he took charge of the stock and I returned safe.
During my stay at Lathrops two days and three nights I shot over 40 wild Turkeys most of them I shot by moonlight off the trees on which they roosted. I was one of the four men who started a Brass Band[,] the first in the Church, their names were Wm. Pitt[,] James Smithies[,] James Standing. during the winter we were called on to play for many dances sometimes six in a week[.] this was done to keep up the spirits of the people in this place[.] many of our people died through the hardships and fatigues of the journey.
In the early spring I was called to go with the Pioneers to the Rocky mountains[.] when we arrived at Loop [Loup] Fork of the Platte River we had to cut Cottonwood Trees for the horses to eat the bark as there was no feed. a little further west we came to the Buffaloes So thick the feed was All consumed and they were verry poor. We were thouraly instructed to humble ourselves and go as men of God that the blessing of the Lord might attend us. We crossed the La Platte at Larimie [Laramie] thence through the Black hills to the upper crossing
By this time the River had swollen so mutch we could not ford. we was compelled to go to the timber where we hewed out three large Canoes[.] these we framed together thus making a good ferry boat on which we ferried our waggons. before we got our waggons ferried the emigrants for Oregon began to arrive. when Prest Young appointed ten of us to remain and ferry them with the promise we should share equaly with them who went ahead to the Valley in all the honours of the mission[.] the ten selected to stop all expected Their families would arive in a few days when we were to follow the Pioneers. it was thought by so doing we could get of the emigrants flour and Bacon that would help the mission on its return. we were kept busy ferrying for about two weeks expecting every day to hear that our families were near at hand[.] after waiting another week there came to us some ten or twelve men from the Battalion going back to meet their families. it was soon arranged that part of us both companies should start back to meet our families while the rest staid to keep camp[,] no one thinking we would be gone over from two to five days. we only took provision to last three days when we arrived at Larrimie the Indians had brought the news that there were waggons Coming up the Platte with no idea of the distance. provisions could not be bought[.] we went on 175 miles which we traveled with only one Antelope and one hare for the company. this was less than half a meal each in 7 days. I never expect to witness greater excitement than prevailed when we beheld at a distance a camp of waggons lying bye for the Sabbath[.] our horses did their best to carry us to breckfast where several of us found our families. Truly my soul was filled with joy at meeting my wife [Elizabeth Young Ellsworth] and two litle ones [Charlotte and Edmund] in company with the saints mooving to Salt Lake. at Strawberry Creek we met and camped with the returning Pioneers this night the Indians stole 52 head of the Pioneers horses which greatly distressed the company on their return To winter quarters[.] I accompanied the saints to the Valley where we arrived on the 12 of Oct

My little boy and myself slept on those irones for 5 months —there has been a vast improvement in bed springs since that time —We had a long tiresome journey —but we had some very pleasant evenings after our wearisome day was over we would have songs and prayer and thank our Heavenly Father that our lives had been spared from the cruel Indian and wild beasts that were often seen on our way —But we had all we could endure both men and women as well as the poor cattle —I drove my oxen through the day —milked 5 cows at night and morning —Baked the bread for fifteen persons eleven of them men —done everything that came to me to do my yoke my oxen —I was asked to do that by the Captain of the ten I was traveling in —but I drew the line at that request —and on measuring the yoke with me the odds was in my favor —I could not lift the yoke —my weight at that time was 80 pounds —But with all our hardships we were blessed with good health and looked on the cheerful side and the months passed away and we were nearing the valley as it was called —Theres one more —incident that occurs to my mind —I had never heard of a cloud burst —but I was called to witness one that nearly cost myself and baby our lives —We had camped in Emigration canyon for noon lunch —I started with my little boy for a walk —I had not got far from the wagon when I heard a very unusual sound —and looking back across the canyon the mountain seemed to be coming down into the road —and the roar was deafening.

So now all things being ready we hitched up our teams leaving the Clark family behind and traveled eight or ten miles and camped just about where the line divided the united States and mexaco {Mexico} at that time. but we was on the way to the great starting place so we traveled with out my particular incedent transpiring. Stoping about two miles below where they crosed the river to winterquarters by a nice little lake with plenty of fish so I could use my spare time ketching fish which was very little as we had to gather our suplys for the journey{.} so we made two trips in to missourri {Missouri} for corn and such other things that we needed. but when all was ready we crosed the river to winterquarters and stayed a few days geting organised to the different companys then started for the horne river where each would get with the company he was to travel with crossing the plains. here we had to buyld rafts of logs and ferrey the wagons across. while here two men started bac{k} to winterquarters in a wagon and was attacted by indians and one of them killed. but it was geting in to july and we had got only forty miles on our journey but each company got together traveled twenty miles to the platt{e} river{.} here we found where a man had been killed by indians and afterwards lerned that he was a half breed returning from the ponneer vilige so we knew that there was danger all now so no indival was to be alowed to stray a away from the train. now our way up the north side of the platt{e} river and we traveled on the north side of the loup fork above the old ponneer village{.} here we found a sutiable crossing place where the river was wide and not deep but full of quick sand which made it quite dificult. So the men was in the water waist deep all day long. Some teams would get stalled and we would have to go their assistence with five or six yoke of oxen to pull them out. but we all got across with no other damage than the breaking of one wagon tongue{.} but we soon put in a cottonwood pole for a tongue and went on our journey. we were now on grand island{.} here we experienced one of these wilde stormes which their part of the country is subject to. while we were traveling along and the wether being clear and warme there came up a cloud very sudenly and the wind began to blow and the rain began to fall and within a few minits we were in a torant of rain and wind and the rain beat through the wagoncovers and the wind blew some of them off and tore others and we got well soaked. but the storm was soon over and the sun shining as bright as ever and we was on the move again. and eventually reached the maine platt{e}. now when we organised our company we was to have tain of the hundred then a captain of each fifty and captans of tens and Jedadiah M. Grant was captain of the hundred and Joseph B{ates} Nobles caption of the first fifty with Willard Snow captian of the second fifty and our orders was to travel all together in one company till we reached green river and from there we was to travel any way to make the best time to the valey. but there had been a sadies bacti{...}ith some of the second fifty and to {-} asked to be each fifty travel to its self. by the time we reached the main platt{e} the fealing had grown quite strong. so one ev{en}ing after we had been traveling all day through the sand hills and the teams very tired and the men weary and mabe a little cross captian with his fifty about half a mile from where the first fifty camped and that night the order for traveling was vilated for the first time so the squel was their cattle stamped {stampeded} in the night and broke away from them. So next morning when they gathered them in there was mising over ninty head of their cattle. and word was sent ahead to the other companys and all halted{.} here the famous porter rock. Will {Porter Rockwell} met us who had been sent from the valey to hurry up the companys and joined in the search for the lost cattle. but after severls days no trace having been found the diferend companys furnished what help they could spare and by yoking in many cows captians Snows company was able to move again and he made the boast that they would give us a wild goose chace. but ocasionly the cattle would come in to the the road and follow it for a short distance then turn off again. So the chace went on till they reached the place of an old frenchman ten miles below fort larema {Laramie} and here they found the cattle in his karall {corral.} the frenchman had seen them pasing or they had come to his place and he had karaled them. So the men began to try to negosiate with him for his services for stoping the cattle. but ocasionly the cattle would come in to the the road and follow it for a short distance then turn off again. So the chace went on till they reached the place of an old frenchman ten miles below fort larema {Laramie} and here they found the cattle in his karall {corral.} the frenchman had seen them pasing or they had come to his place and he had karaled them. So the men began to try to negosiate with him for his services for stoping the cattle. but the old fellow was hard hearted and wanted to drive a hard bargin and no persuasion as to the value of the oxen to the emagrants would do and the men was entierly at the mercey and the out come of it all was the frenchman picked out two of the finest and best oxen in the drove and the men started back with the others. but during this time we were having hard work at the camp to manage the cattle{.} they had became so unruly we would herd them in the day time and karaal them at night in a karaal formed of our wagons with an opening at each end for the cattle to pas in and out with a gard at each opening to keep them from going out through the night. but one night somthing started them and they made abrake for the mouth of the karaal and the gard in trying to stop them was knocked down and only saved himself from being trampled to death by falling near one of the wagons and crawling under it out of their way. the cattle took down a dry wash through heavy timber and over the dry trees that had been blown down and ran for four miles before they stoped. but the men was soon after them and when we got around them we staid and herded them untill morning and when they were brought in to camp we found we had several head crippled and on{e} of the g{u}ard quite badly hurt. S{o} it was desided to hitch up and travel and leave our friends that was after the runaways behind which was a pretty hard proposion but it seemed that we could do nothing else so away we went. but every day we would put provison in a sack and sit a pole in the ground and hang the sack on it. but this soon ended the second or third day they over took us. but terrebly used up{.} now it is to be remembered that these men was on barback horses not even a blanket under them and the horses poore you can guess their condition after a ride of about a hundred and fifty miles. but we was all together once more and on the jorney through the black hill country. after this I only remember one time that our cattle stamped and then they broke two wagon wheels and one axel tree. kiled one cow and broke the leg of a two year colt. from this on we mostly left them on the range with herdsmen with them. So we traveled on crossed the platt{e} river at what was called the last crossing{.} from there twenty miles to a place called the poison springs{.} so caled from the great number of cattle that died here and was suposed to be poisoned by drinking the watter but most likley going to long with out watter it being nearly two days jorney from the platt{e}. the next camping place was twenty miles to what we called willow creek{.} here arived quite late it being a very long drive{.} so the herdsmen took the cattle out for the night. and was a little carless and let some of them stray off and in the morning when they brought in the cattle about one third of them mising and after a short search levi {Evans} writter {Riter,} amos {Herr} neff and me was sent back on the road as there was the tracks of three head of cattle going back on the road. So we traveled for miles and could {not} find any more tracks. So I said to the others that the rest of the herd not gone back the{n} on the road. So we rode long distances each side of the road but could find not trace of any cattle. So we rode on till we reached the poison spring wash and here we found the three head that we had been tracking all the fore noon lying down chewing their coodes. after reaching the main platt{e} the buffalo became very numarious, in fact so plentiful that they were troblesome and one fore noon when we had got barly started we seen the advanced guard coming over the bluffs about four off making strate for our train{.} now at first it seamed nothing to be alarmed at but as they come nearer with the wings growing wider till they extended up and down the river botom for miles and the leaders but a few hundred yards away making strate for the center of our train and no signs of turning to the right or left we seen that we would sweept in to the river wagon teams and people. they were so close we could see their eyes glimmer. so the impuls{e} seemed to work on every man at the same time and all sprang from the wagon, with guns in their hands faceing them and began to fire at them. and after nearly all had fired and some read to give them another round the leaders threw up their heads give a sniff and turned down the line of wagons and as soon as they reached the end of the train jumped in to the river. but word soon came along the line to hurry up the buffalos was crowding the hind wagons and would soon be crushing them if we did not move faster so every teamster began to whip and slash and hurry up his team and we kepted it up till after sundown never stoping for noon. and it may seem incredable to people nowday as there is no buffalos and but few people aliving that ever seen them on the great plains{.} but all day long there was a traveling boddy of buffalos foure miles deep and many miles long pasing our train. I will not atem{p}t to put an e{s}timate on the number that I seen that day for it would seem unreasable to people these days. it seems to be the nature of these anamals when traveling from one place to another to always travel on the lope never noticeing any thing in front of them. and it was but little less than a mericle that we got them turned aside. there is another incedent I will mention here while traveling up the platt{e}. we had been traveling across some sand riges and as we emerged on to the river bottom we seen a large camp of indians on the oposit side of the river. and a little farther on we some to a place where the ground was literly covered with dead buffalos{.} the indians had been over the day before and rounded them in a flat the shape of a basin and kepted them there and slautered them till they lay thick over several acres of ground. then they would hide down e{a}ch side of the back and take out the sinues and some times would take a part of the hind quarter but otherwise they lay as they died. not one of them had the skin taken off as they were not fit for robes this time of the year. and here let me say I seen a site that was quite interesting. there was a gang of very large wolves close by the oxen and they seemed not to be anyways afrade of us but would move off slowly when we rode toward them then stop and look back at us. there was what white wolves gray wolves and black wolves and there was an anamel that I can not tell to this day what it was. he was a very stout built fellow very heavy in front and liter behind with a thick short head and smooth hair and his tail was not bushy like the others and he had short stuby ears loo{k}ed more like a bull dog than any thing else that I know of. and he wood turn and look at us as though he said I am not afraid of you. I dont know to this day what it is caled. but now lets return to our hunt for our cattle{.} if I had been left to my self I should have started back with the three that we had found as there was not signs of any more in that direction{.} but not so with mr. witter {Riter} and mr. neff. they led off up the wash and we rode about five miles then rode back again. now here I think these two men alowed their anxiety to overcome their judgement and when the jugement is over balanced the reasoning facilty is dorment{.} it seems they could not reason so they started back on the toards the platt{e} river and rode ten miles before they could discover that no cattle had traveled back on the road{.} So we rode back but not yet satisfied theire anxiety down the wash three miles to the platt{e.} here we got off of our horses and led them to water and here I expected a little beter sense but was fooled {a}gain when ritter said to neff that he better go back and get three head of oxen and start on the road toards camp and he would take me with him and go through the hills and come to him some where on the road{.} to me this was one of the most insaine idiers yet as there was no chance for the cattle to be where he proposed to go{.} they could not of yet got without cross the road that we had traveled from the camp all the time looking for tracks and could discover only the three them to supose that a hundred head of cattle could cross a dry dusty road with out making any track was more than I could see. but neff refused to go eteither for fear or becase he had no faith in the trip so he (neff) proposed that I had beter go. So when I see the dirty trick they were going to play on me first thought was to object but I had always been taught to listen to those older than myself. So I said if I have to go its time to start and turned and rode away and left them. I will tell you here of our mount so you can better understand our sittuation. riter was on an old horse quite poor and very slow and neff rode a nice high spirited mare in good flesh. and I rode a two year old colt quite thin in flesh but plenty of life. So here I parted with my two frends and turned my lonely face toards the three head oxen when I got to them they were half mile below the road. So I hured them along. but just at this time a number of old buffalo bulls come down from the hills rite between me and the road and put up a terable belowing and bauling and pawing of the earth around the dead carcakus and as I was pasing them the oxen atem{p}ted to go to them which gave me considerable troble but my colt being spry and easy managed{.} I steared them by and reached the road and started toards home if there was any home{.} the sun was not over two hours high here I began to feel my situation and lonelesess more acute than ever alone on the plains. and my little colt liable to fail me at any time and leave me about{.} I had no faith that writer {Riter} and neff would come to me any more from the way they had acted{.} I thought they would traver the same corse till they were far ahead of me then come to the road and then go to camp and leave me to get there the best I could with the oxen. but no use to try to discribe my fealings and lonelyness them few hours for its imposable. So I hurryed them oxen for four or five miles faster than they traveled it the last time before. they all had their mouths open and their tounges out so I seen that would not do so I slowed up and took it more easy for a while. and here I discovered that some persons was ahead of me{.} I could see their tracks plain in the road so I inspec{t}ed them and two wearing mackisons and two seemed to have their feet raped up in cloths and there was one foot track but who could they be. I could give no idea. So the oxen being rested I pushed on again faster. and a little after sundown I came in sight of them half a mile or more ahead. and thinking they had not seen me the country full of riges and hollows and while they was in one hollow out of sight of I would rush the oxen and reach another holow to be out of sight when they were on top the rige so this went on till there was only one more rige between us. So as they raised the top of one ri{d}ge I raised the top of the one behind so we came in full view of each other{.} this was the first they had seen me and one of the men hollowed{.} I now seen they were white men and answered back. and when I came to them they were five men from our camp. I now remembered our pasing them just after we left camp but suposed that they turned back after we past them but they had followed about sixteen miles before they turned back but now I had company and felt satisfied with my lot. we was now fifteen miles from where we had left camp. So we traveled slowly as all was very tired and on our way we found a large ox that some of the companys had left behind. and had escaped the wolves and indians. and he had been here so long that he was in fine condition and very genttle so the men would take turns riding the ox and my poney for a little rest. So we traveled along in this way till within four miles of where we left the camp. and near a spring of water a few rods from the road we stoped and turned off to get a drink. and just after we left the road two horsemen rode up to the oxen and suposing it to be writer {Riter} and neff I turned and told them to drive the oxen along and we would over take them in a short time. now the men had been with out water all day and we taried a few miniuts at the spring. but when we got back to the road there stoot {stood} the oxen the same as we left them and no horsemen in sight{.} so we started on and when we reached where we left the camp there was no camp here. now here we was tired out, and nothing to eat and had had nothing all day. but we conclued to stop and rest till morning so we struck a fire as it was geting cool but we could get no sleep having no beding and the night air being quite cool. and when we sent a man to see about the oxen he reported that they were gone so this of corse was the end of our camp for that night. and when we reached bear river we were met by O.B. Adams of the mormon batalian with a fresh yoke of oxen{.} we thought now we would hurry on and soon be to the valley but that night our best ox was bitten by a rattle snake. and was so swolen in the morning that we had to leave him so we had but very little benifit only having a fresh yoke but no more teame than before. from here on we traveled withh out any respect to company and having nothing to hinder only rough roads to travel and high mountains to cross. we made very good time and reached the place where Salt lake City now is. on the first day of october eighteen hundred and fourty seven and camped on what is known as the old pioneer square.<on april="" day="" of="" sixth="" the=""><in><the time=""><was><to><a cap=""><snow><past on=""><old><miles><be><now><thirteen><there><in><we and="" eat="" fifty="" had="" horses="" miles="" nothing="" now="" over="" rode="" the="" to=""><of><were></were></of></we></in></there></thirteen></now></be></miles></old></past></snow></a></to></was></the></in></on>

Meeks, Priddy, Reminiscences, 1879.

But I cut and wheeled around among the people till I found Jesse Harmon, a good Saint who I believe was counseled to wait till the next season. He let me have a wagon that was fited up in Nauvoo on purpose for crossing the plains. With large projections on either side of the top of the bed with very high wagon bows.I did not want a better wagon and he took my little wagon and a forty gallon of wine to boot. Now I was just fixed to my notion in wagons and team except one oxe. When Brother Clark learned that I lacked an ox he says to me, Brother Meeks I will give you an ox. He could not see how he could get of[f] that spring when there was nothing in the world in the way if he had just had the spirit of it. He had three good wagons and teams and was not enthralled anyway. Here was another providence of God in my favor in fulfillment of what Uncl[e] John as I called him said to me in Pisgah when I give up all the wagon and team that I owned to fit up the Pioneers. Now I was ready to go to the horn where we was organized to cross the plains.
When I shook hands with Brother Clark on starting he cried like a child and never would have pay for the ox he let me have. With a glad heart and joyful spirit we moved off and reached the horn in good time and when the time came we was organized into Jedediah Grants hundred and Joseph Bates Nobles, fifty, and Josiah Millers ten. They was all three as good men as was to be had here, my family comprising of eight persons, myself and wife and daughters, Elisabeth grown, Margaret Jane not grown. John Henderson a lad I had raised, and a boy and girl belonging to Orson B. Adams, John Adams and Betsey Pason. How our hearts swelled with the glorious expectation of leaving our persecutors behind. We started out not knowing where we was going or what was ahead of us, trusting in the living God and started like Abraham, not knowing whither we went and we did have a good time. Not withstanding the hardships and trials and troubles and sickness many had to endure.
The Lord did pour out his blessings upon us abundantly. The plains furnished abundance of meat and the prairie grass abundance of milk. Now the incidents that took place crossing the plains are so complicated I will only mention a few in this connection.One case of Sister [Esther] Ewinds [Ewing], the first I heard of her she was about dying with what they called the Black Kanker [canker] in her mouth and throat. She did die in a few hours and we halted to bury her and her daughter Rachel Ewens [Ewing], was found to have the same complaint and quite deep seated. I told them I thought I could cure her. My daughter Elizabeth waited on her while I doctored her and she was not long in getting well. The palate of the old ladys mouth was eat up and the fauces of her mouth partly gone. All was in a mortified state. I am convinced that it was the diptheria they both had. The next case was Gilbert [Gilbard] Summers [Summe] wife (he being with the pioneers). She was in company two miles distant from me but they sent for me and when I got there I found her verry low with a fever. And with all the faith and courage I could raise I broke the fever and she soon got up again. Another case was as I was standing guard one night, close by Brother Nobles wagon. I heard some person groan like if they was nearly dead. In the morning I enquired of Brother Nobles who it was, he said it was Richard Norwood the man that drove his team. On examination found it to be the Black Canker as we called it but it was undoubtedly the diptheria in its worst form for his whole palate and fossils [fossaes] of his throat appeared to be in one solid mass of putrefaction. I told Brother Nobles if he would look among the crowd and get such medicine as I would name I would try and do something for him, for without help he could not live but a very few days.
I will recollect one medicine I used, it was rough Elm Bark, taken off a tree stood close by. It is one of the best anticeptics in the compass of medicine. 
In the first settling of Kentucky and Indiana we used to put our hogs lard and bears oil in large troughs. We would sometimes have fifty gallons at a time. It would sometimes turn green going into a state of putrifaction. We would take the red or rough Elm Bark in long strips and lay it lengthwise in the troughs and it would take all the smell and collor and tast[e] of putrifaction out of it and render it as sweet as any other oil.
Now for Brother Norwood again. I will just say that he was cured in a much shorter time than I could expect. So we all moved on in order again.
The Lord has His eye on the end from the Beginning, to illustrate I will relate an incident which took place on the plains, the blessings resulting from which are visible to this day and will be to all time, and in eternity. We had a stampede on the plains and lost sixty two head of cattle which we never did find. We laid there eight days not having team enough to travel, but knowing we must move or perish we mustered up all the available teams possible and that was one ox. President John Young was minus one os [ox], he &amp; I being entire strangers. He heard I had a cow that would work and when he found me says "Bro. Meeks, yes Sir I answered. Well we are now organized for traveling if I had one more animal, will you let me have that cow to fit me out". I replied "No", at this his countenance fell like a blaze just put out, "but says I, I will tell you what I will do. I will let you have a good ox and will work the cow myself as she is heavy with calf. I would rather work her myself. At this he brightened up like fire in a stubble field, so we all took up the line of march full of the spirit of rejoicing and while I am speaking on this line of providence resulting from me letting President John Young have an ox, I will trace that line out far enough to show that a person will never lose his reward for doing good. . . .
Apostle Willard Richards had one of his wives dies in childbed with symptoms they did not understand. She seemed to have a smothering, suffocating, sinking spells. He requested us to make an examination by diesection and we found it to be dropsey or water around the heart. Dandelion is a good remedy for it, but not so sure as a thorough course of Thomsonian medicine as repeated till a cure is affected.

As I [Mary Adeline Ewing Duzette] have seen nothing recently from this part of far away Dixie I thought I would write a few items of Pioneer history to the many readers of the NEWS. I am the daughter of Samuel Ewing, the third child of a family of nine children. I was born May 31, 1833, in Lancaster county, Penn., Little Britain township. I was 13 years of age when we crossed the plains. We were in Jedediah M. Grant's 100, Brother Noble's 50, and Hayes and Kimball's 10. We buried my mother [Esther Shaffer Ewing] fifteen miles this side of Laramie; she was the first white woman of the Latter-day Gospel who laid down her life in seeking religious freedom in that journey, and will no doubt be numbered with the martyrs. We prepared her for her last resting place—the best that our limited facilities would allow. We wrapped her in a quilt, and having nothing with which to make a coffin, we laid her in a deep vault dug in a deeper grave, sawed the table up to cover the vault, then filled the grave with rocks, brush and earth, to prevent the prairie wolves from disturbing all that was earthly of our dear loved one. Then we left her in her cold and lonely resting place to continue our sad and lonely journey with heavy hearts and weary steps; leaving, it seemed, half our life and all its sweetness behind us. Our feelings can better be imagined than described. It was a scene that beggars description.

Surely such suffering will not go unrewarded, and a time come when we rejoice for all the hardships we have endured for the Gospel; and even now we are proud to know that we are counted worthy to suffer for Him who laid down His life for us.

We left Winter Quarters on the 12
th
 of June, just one year to the day after leaving Nauvoo, and then it was that I gained my first experience as a bull-whacker. I was hardly twelve years old, but I remember taking my turn standing guard morning and evening, though I was considered too young to stand guard during the night. We were in “Uncle John’s”—Young—company, Jedediah M. Grant was captain of the hundred; Bates Noble captain over our fifty, and Amos Neff, now of Mill Creek, was captain of our ten.
Upon our arrival in Salt Lake Valley, which occurred on the 3rd of October, 1847, we pitched our camp just northeast of the springs in what is now Charles Taylor’s lot in the southwest corner of the Fourteenth ward;

I was soon involved in Capt. Grants company & had the honor of being chosen as one of the night gua<r>d of the cattle half of every other night. We laid here about two weeks waiting for the last wagons to join us, as this was the last company of the season, Many found that they had little repairs to make such as reset[t]ing tire, & shifting their loading, I had to put in a new axel tree in my wagon, it took me two days to find a stick to make it of, John Young <Sen> was president of the Company. The first day out we made about five miles, there was about 100 wagons, divided into 50 in each division, Brother Snow, & Bates Nobles Capt of fifties, we made about 12 or 15 teen miles a day, we had a disagreeable time in crossing the Loop [Loup] fork, nothing of note happened until we had made about 400 miles reaching the Buffalow [buffalo] country. One morning two of our company took their guns & struck out into the low hills, about 11 oclock they over took the train a good deal excited, & reported that they had killed a monster, we were ordered to camp for dinner, Bro. Pierce said they could take his horses & wagon, the only horse team in the out fit, the box was soon set upon the ground, there was some faults tongues & levers placed on the running gears, four men was to go back. Capt Grant asked the hunters what time they would be back, the awnser [answer] about 5 oclock, 5 oclock came & no hunters in sight, night came the cattle corralled [corralled], & all went to bed, except the night guard to keep the cattle in the correll, about 11 oclock the wagon came, it was left about eight rods west of our correll every morning as daylight appears there is a sucshion of wind from the west, the first breeze, the cattle [s]cented the blood, & every animal seemed to be on their feet, making a rush for the carkess [carcass], it seemed as though the whole Earth trembled it was a frightful time, as I looked out the cattle at the mouth of the correll were on top of eacher [each other] as high as the tops of the wagons in the rush, they tiped over the wagon on the end of the night wing with one occupant who came out all right, they ran past the carcas about 80 rods, & lost the s[c]ent, they wheeled around in two divisions passing back a past our camp, I canot describe the terror & dread that we were in, if they got with the Buffalo, we were with out teams. There soon <were> some 20 men running after the cattle Calling to them, but the lowing & bells, made two [too] much racket to be heard, when they had run about four miles they stacked up so that the men got around them, in the mean time the carkus [carcass] was moved to one side, & delt out to the people, & a poor deal at that, for there was but little tough meat on the bones; The horns broken off of about thirty oxen & 2 or 3 colts with broken legs, was cleared away, & everything in readiness to receive the cattle, they came about ten oclock, ordered to yoke up, each man got his yoke & began to hunt up his team, the cry was soon heard, I am minus an ox, another, I am out of two, all told there were 26 head short, 4 of the best cattle; Joseph W. Young & another man were called upon to go in search of the lost cattle, their outfit was two plug horses, & five days food, they were absent ten days, returned without the cattle, they tracked 150 milles [miles].		
There was 5 or 10 thousand lbls [lbs] of freight that had to be placed upon the company, every one was to take according to the strength of his team about four oclock we roled out, traveled about five miles &amp; camped in two divishions, about 50 rods apart, after the cattle had eatten a little they were placed in the corrells, with a strong guard, about midnight I was awakoned by the stampede of the other correll, the cattle seemed much frightened, &amp; bewildered, we talked to our cattle which seem to passafy them; the other company soon had their cattle back in the correll, we soon found out the need of the cattle lost. We moved along as best we could to make up for our lost time, about eleven oclock as we were moving a long, we discovered a band of Buffalo coming over the ridge north of us, heading for about the center of our train. As they came nearer they increased in numbers, until there were thousands. They follow their leader, &amp; travel in a three cornered shape. <s>Shape</s>, they see nothing before them, &amp; travel in a short galiop [gallop]; we see that our only chance was to turn them as we could not get out of their way, so voli&lt;n&gt;teers were called for with their guns, they succeeded after many shots to turn them to the left, as they came around &amp; passed by us they seemed to be not two rods from us, many very large, we felt very much relieved, for a few minutes ago, it looked as though we were to be trampled under foot, it is a wonder that our cattle had not stampeded, we roled a long for two or three days as usual, We were brought to a halt, to let a large herd pass in front of us, they crowded into the river until they damed it up until it ran over their backs, The next thing of note was of meeting of Gen. Freemont, &amp; party returning from one of his western trips, he came down from the Yellow Stone [Yellowstone] country, he had but very little to say. We killed very few Buffalow, big mouth Baker said that he killed three with one bullet, The next thing of note was return of Phineas H. Young &amp; another man, who was sent back from the main body of the Pioneers who had reached Green River 160 miles of the great valley where we were expected to camp for the winter, we were very glad to get direct news from the Pioneers.		
The two men were sorely disapointed not finding their families in the Company, The men said they would continue on their journey East, They staid with &lt;us&gt; 4 days to give the people &lt;a chance&gt; to write back to their friends, there was a &lt;little&gt; provishion furnished, &lt;them&gt; their outfit consisted of a small Poneney [pony], frying pan, Coffee Pot, &amp; hatchet, two old rifles &amp; a very little Powder &amp; lead, they had five hundred miles before them, nothing to be seen but red skins &amp; Buffalow; It was sad parting for me, my Father had then traveled some fourteen hundred miles, the most &lt;of&gt; the way on foot, carrying his gun. We traveled along the banks of the Platt[e] until we got opposite Ft. Larima [Laramie] which stands back in a cove about one mile south of the river, it was low &amp; we croosed [crossed] &amp; drove out about four miles &amp; camped, it looked good to see a house again, we soon had the Black hills to climb which was very hard on our catt[l]es feet, the gravel was so sharp, In a hundred &amp; fifty miles we recrossed the platt[e] again, here we found a few of our Pioneers who was detained to build a boat to cross the companies as the[y] came up, when we came up the &lt;stream&gt; was so &lt;low&gt; we could ford it, The next place of note was Sweet Water [Sweetwater], &amp; Independance [Independence] rock, It &lt;is&gt; said that when the big rush of forty three or four to Oregon the &lt;emigrants&gt; all met there &amp; spent the 4th of July &amp; had fifty two weddings, &amp; named the rock, the next place of note is the Devel's [Devil's] Gate, the feed being poor we made a short noo&lt;n&gt;ing after we had traveled about four miles, we discovered that &lt;we&gt; were four women short, the question was asked, are they Kidnapt [kidnapped], a few men went back about a mile &amp; see the lost women. The next place is Rockey [Rocky] Ridge, it has got its right name, on top of the ridge we met President Young &amp; company on their return trip, it was about dinner time, &amp; we camped for the night, we wanted to know all about the great Bason [Basin], we had a good visit but a little bad luck, about daylight the Indians steped up &amp; got seven head of horses, young &amp; old that was tied to &lt;the&gt; Cannon wagon, they cut the bell strap, &amp; skipted [skipped] for parts unknown.		
About Ten oclock we seperated. Our next place of note was the South Pass after traveling eight hundred miles of upgrade, we found our selves on the Back Bone of America, I compaired the water of the Atlantic &amp; pacific [Pacific], I could &lt;see&gt; no diferance, Green River was the next place of note, in due time we arrived &amp; found the river low &amp; we crossed without any trouble, then fifty miles to old Ft Bridger, we arrived there all safe about dinner time, we camped for the night after dinner quite a number of us strooled [strolled] up to the Fort. Messrs Bridger &amp; Vasques were owners, the Fort consisted of 8 rooms covered with poles &amp; dirt, it had been cleaned up, &amp; we were made welcome, &amp; was envited to bring our music &amp; have a dance in the evening, Bridger had Squaws but the[y] kept out of sight, this whole country was claimed by the Snake tribe, they were very numerous, they have a way of dressing their robes &amp; other skins far superior to any of the other tribes, they never split their robes. 		
In their storeroom was a small supply of Indian goods, a little sugar, tea, coffee &amp; Sarvis [Service] berries, a pint was a pound all around; Mr. Vasques was a scholar, &amp; very interesting to talk with, he told me where I could find the Indian Medicine Spring, &amp; fill up my tea pot, I would find &lt;it&gt; good for the wagon also for sore throat, or any kind of a sores. I found it to be so, We had our little dance, &amp; bid them good by, it seemed &lt;good&gt; to get under a she&lt;l&gt;ter again, In the morning we started for the Great Valley one hundred &amp; thirteen miles to make, we moved along until we reached Salaratus Creek three miles east of Bear river. We found a good Spring of water, &amp; we camped for the night, here Sister Grant breathed her last, 83 miles east of the valley.
