Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
opposite Fort Laramie. This was st.
When we arrived we saw some men
approaching us from the Fort and found them to be a part of the
company of Missisippi brethren who had been to Pueblo through
the Winter. Brother Crow and his family 7 waggons and
14 souls were the persons who were at Fort Laramie. He
informed us that the remainder of the Missisippi company with
the portion of the Mormon Battalion at Pueblo would start from Laramie
about the 1st of June and follow our trail; told us of 4 of the brethren
who had died and had heard nothing of the main body of the
Battalion
President Young suggested the propriety of
of our leaving all our ploughs at the Fort except such as we need to
use immediately when we got to our destination and also to do
our blacksmithing mending waggons &c as soon as possible so that we
might go on our journey speedily. A company company was appointed
to attend to the herding and these branches of business.
