[Apostle Willard Richards Journal] Mt. Pisgah. Rain in the a.m. [morning; afternoon] p.m. cloudy. At noon the camp was called to gather at the sound of the horn, but few came. President Young addressed the assembly and told the people the time had come when he should command them what to do, inasmuch as they were not willing to hearken to counsel without being commanded. Levi W. Hancock, H. C. Kimball, Father John Smith, John Taylor, Bishop Miller, William Huntington, P. P. Pratt, Joshua Holman, Amasa Lyman and President Young again all spoke to show the Saints their duty and the plan of salvation, the right way to fit out a company for the mountains, and till the farm at this place.
