[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 11th The whole of President Youngs encampment moved on to another prairie ridge. This was company No 1st. It was ownly seperated from Co No 2 Elder Kimball Captain by a valley about 50 rods. We formed a Holler Square with an + [square] of about 350 waggons. We then built a strong fence as an encloser of the whole 5 rods from the waggons. The waggons were placed mouth fronting the square And made a spended appearance. It was a busy day with US.
