Day in the Life
Journal Entry
May 01, 1860 ~ Tuesday
May 1st I spent the day in the office President Young called into the
office and spoke of Capt Gibson and of French who came in
yesterday & said Capt Gibson owed him $20. he came on with
him to this place President Young said He did not believe that Capt
Gibson owed him any thing he believed Capt Gibson was an
honest man & that he was honest in spirit. He is on a mission
& one year will tell the tale. Wm Hickman called upon President
Young allso, a Johnson. They spoke of S. M. Blair spoke of the trial of
Furney. Word arived From Camp Floyd That Mr Coats the
shariff of Cedar County killed a man dead in self Defence that
was supposed to have been a Mr Johnson who had threatened
the lives of Blair & Ferguson the Editors of the mountaineer but
it turned out to be another Man. Elders A Lyman & C. C. Rich
with their company took there leave of there Familyies & Friends
this evening & started upon there mission I planted my corn i
squashes in the evening. I am perusing Capt Gibson Narative of
hi[s] arest sieszure of his vessel & his imprisionment by the Dutch at the
Indian Archipalego it is vary interesting it shows the cruelty of
the Dutch and the little attention our government pays to redressing
the wrongs of her citizens or maintain the honour of her Flag
abroad
