"I went to the mining country 6 miles above Placerville on Weber Creek where I met with some of the brethren and we left on the evening of May 5, crossed the Sierra Nevada and remained some two months in Carson valley, till the first company started for G.S.L. City when I left with them and arrived here Aug 14, 1857." (Rasmus M. Engelstad)
