Young sat & herd the minutes read of his sermons also Brother
& corrected them. President Young said it was thought
a wonderful [thing] for this Company to walk so far but take many women
that spin as some do & their steps counted & they would travel 30
miles in a day my children in ther play some times would
run enough to make 10 or 15 miles in a day. &
President Young said He thought the had a
Better time than the teams had "they have not had as hard
a time as we had in going to in 1833 [1834] then I went
to Missouri stayed in the cholera 15 days then returned to
within three months over 3000 miles & walked all the way & lay on
the ground evry night. But if I had to fit out a company I
would have fitted out the carts different from what they
were soon came in & ward from . President Young said that the Indian chief
had cut up smoothest bad trick that I ever heard of so Brother
Robinson related the circumstances as follows Washakeek with
several other Indians came in to his store & ordered him to give them
some spirits. He told them He had none to sell they undertook to get
it by force & robinson pulled them out of the store. He went away
& soon came back with 100 Indians & pulled Robinson up to the
door & told him he must open the door & give him some liquor
so they forced him to open the door & deal out Liquor to them the
100 Indians drank 20 gallons & all got drunk but behaved vary
well they offered to pay for the Liquor. He has been used to
such sprees Brother Robinson said that if he was to do the same
over again He should present a pistol to him & try his luck at it
