[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 23d We removed our encampment this day from the prairie ridge to the table land on the bank of the Missouri River which was a beautiful place for a City. The City was laid out in blocks of 20 rods by 40 each lot 4 By 10. I had one block for my company which consisted of near 40 families so I had to put about 2 families on a block. It was a vary busy day. We had no yard so we lost many of our cattle at night.
