[Apostle Willard Richards Journal] General Encampment. Traveled 10 miles. Encamped to build a bridge over the west fork Nishonee Botony. General Miller has got one stringer over. Presidents Young and Richards went down to the river to see it done. About 2 p.m., James W. Cummings arrived at headquarters with Brother Potter; said Emmett had left his company with a squaw and all the jewelry and seven horses, and gone to St. Peters, that Emmett's company was at the fort 30 miles below the Bluffs, and John L. Butler with them, etc. Headquarters came up with General MillerÂ's encampment and the Pioneers have called general encampment.
