A Lyman rode 5 miles to Mr Henry Millers and had a feast of mellons
corn and vegatables and then returned to Redemption Hill and crossed Musketoe Creek on to Perkins' Camp over hills and dales. Here we spent
the night and on the morrow back to Redemption Hill and thence
to Council Point where we found many upon whom we had laid
our hands recovering from their sickness
Next day we rode to the Mo. River and
crossed the ferry. Two of the Omahas were with us to the Cold
Spring and they shot their pointed arrows to divert us. At the
Cold Spring we saw Erastus Snow and several families. From
thence we rode to the Camp of Israel and saw on our way the
Omaha village or lodges which was quite a picteresque view
We carried home to our families some vegatables.
On our return to the camp we found the
people much improved in health but we also found an evil in the
Camp. A man by the name of Barnum not a member of the
Church had joined with other young men in spending their time
at nights in fiddling and dancing and afterwards leading away young
woman into folly and wickedness
In Council with Two Tribes of Indians
I met with the Twelve and High Council with two
tribes of Indians. The object was to get permission to stay
on the land that season and to use wood grass and water for
two or three years or as long as we wished while gathering to the
mountains.
We first met with the Otoes between whom
and the Omahas there was a dispute as to who owned the land
The Otoes said the land was theirs. The chief with five
or six others were present. We talked to him and
he went home.
