Day in the Life

Aug 5, 1850

Journal Entry

August 05, 1850 ~ Monday

5th The first Division left according to my council though with
great reluctance I spent the day at Ash Hollow mending waggons
we had good cold spring water in this Hollow which was
a great benefit to the camp as most of the water we had
to drink on the way was either slew or platt water
and seemed to be unhealthy
