Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
On this day we removed our encampment from the
prairie ridge to the table land on the bank of the Missouri River
This was a beautiful place for a city and we laid our city out in blocks
of 20 rods by 40 each lot 4 by 10. I had one block for my
company which consisted of nearly 40 families so I had to put two
families on a ^lot^ block. It was a very busy day and as we had no
yard we lost many of our cattle at night and I was hunting cattle
all the next day while most of my division drew poles and made a
fence to keep our cattle in.
