company No I. It was only seperated from company No II by a valley
of about 50 rods. Heber C. Kimball was the Captain of No 2.
We formed a hollow square with an L
of about 350 waggons in encampment No 1 and then built a strong fence
as an enclosure of the whole. The fence was built five rods from
the waggons and the waggons were placed mouth fronting the Square
The encampment made a fine appearence and we had a busy
day in setting it in order.
Next day was a busy day for me and my
company in building a fence for our cattle and looking them up. I also
met in council with the Twelve and we had a public meeting in
Encampment No 1 when the encampment was devided into eleven divisions
and numbered. My company formed the 10 Division. The
meeting was held in the hollow square
