Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
Sunday the th was still cloudy and a cold wind. With
Brothers Young Kimball Benson Rockwell and Stephens I rode 4 miles
over the Bluffs to pick out a road for the Pioneers to get again on the
bottom land. We had a good meeting in the afternoon; and the
laws of the Camp were read. One of the brethren had shot an
antelope and a buffalo which was against the rules of the camp
to go hunting on the Sabbath.
was warm and pleasant but our road
was hard: two and a half miles through sand bluffs when we again
struck the bottom 4 1/2 miles from our last camping place.
The hunters brought in 3 buffalo which detained the camp sometime
to get and President Young was not pleased with it as we had
so much meat in camp. We saw large droves of deer in the
bottoms more than we had seen before. A young fawn was picked
up and brought into camp. I led the company of Pioneers
mostly through the bluffs in the morning before brothers Young
and Kimball came up when we rode together all day
picking out the road.
