[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 6th Arose at Day light. Breakrased on a prarie chicken stew. Went on to the grape ground. Found the grapes on Cotton woods & willows. I cut down several hundred of them during the day the size of my arm & leg. And we all laboured hard untill sun set picking grapes. We picked over three Barrels of Bunch grapes & started for home by moon light. We returned as far as the ferry but Could not cross And had to camp for the night. 10 miles.
