Several of us went to work getting out lumber for Brigham Young while we were waiting and resting.

The mormons all advised us not to undertake to go on by the northern route, and as the travelers gathered at this point they canvassed the situation.

We used our teams when we were at work for Brigham and assisted in building a dam across a canon where he intended to build a woolen mill.

I earned about a hundred dollars by my work, which was paid to me in ten-dollar pieces of a gold coin made by the Mormons.

They were not like the U.S.coins.
