Journal Entry

August 13, 1857 ~ Thursday

13th I called upon President Young in the morning He came in asked
if it would not be well to put in the stone into the bottom of the temple
seller & let the men go to & save their grain and for each man
to take what grain will do him for a year. D. H. Wells said
that orders had been sent North & south to watch for
the soldery & not let them come in but to destroy them the best
way they could let grain be cashed in the mountains so they
can get at it. President Young said that He thought it would
be best to secure the grain in the mountain it was said that
Vannetting had 500 lb of powder coming & that He would go out
with cattle to bring it in or would do as He was told yes say President
Young except a righteous course. President Young said I had
rather have a good powder horn & charger than any flask in
the world He considered it safer. There is a deep feeling pervading
our city about the soldiers coming in to destrowy us as a
people. I had an interview with President B. Young &
he gave me some important instructions with regard to
Historical Matters at 5 oclok I called upon Brother Carri
