Captain Peter Ranck's independent train of about 20 wagons arrived in G. S. L. City. They had left Florence about June 20th. Elder Ranck writes:


"We left our camping place in <s>June</s> very early, went through Bluff City to the steam ferry, crossed to Omaha, thence up the river to Florence, passed through town and went about a mile west and camped after traveling about ten miles during the day. The next day we continued the journey, crossed the little and big Papea (Papillon) and traveled day after day; on the 24th we met two Church trains, one of them Ira Eldredge's. On the 25th we met Joseph W. Young's train of ox teams. In that train were Ansel Harman, James Malen, Wm. Piter , Joseph Weiler, etc. On the 28th we overtook a company of five wagons with emigrants which <s>now</s> joined us; crossed Wood river on July 2nd. On the 5th we passed the grave of James A. Allen who died in 1852 (July 7th) with the cholera at Boyd's Station. We arrived at Fort Laramie July 31st. The company was reorganized on August 21st on Strawberry Creek with Peter Ranck, captain, James Watson, captain of guard, also ten captains of ten; arrived at Pacific Springs on the 22nd. The train arrived in Salt Lake City Sunday, Sept. 8, 1861.

Overland Trips Across the American Desert

Sangiovanni, G.G.R., "Overland Trips Across the American Desert", Young Woman's Journal, July 1912, Page 370.

In '61 I took another trip to the Missouri river. The war having just broken out we met many going west to escape draft. Many of the Mormon emigration had arrived from across the ocean. One afternoon one of the steers made a break for anybody in sight and went straight for Mr. T[homas]. B[rown]. H[olmes]. Stenhouse. The steer grazed him. Over he fell onto ox yokes, kettles, etc. He drew a long breath, exclaiming, "Oh, how I wish we were in Zion!" Sometimes the Utah trains would camp within sight of each other. Then the night herders would play tricks. W[illiam]. W. Riter and Joseph Weiler were night herders for our train. One moonlight night the sound of visitors running away woke me. There were about a dozen of us sleeping in a row. Riter was next to me and his fine black beard was shining with tar. I got a frying pan with some bacon grease left in it and soon had the tar loose, so it washed off easily.	
I remained home three days after that trip, when I went again to Carson Valley, returning in December, 1861.
