Mormon History, Apr 29, 1847. Thursday.

[William Clayton Journal] The wagons started at 5 o'clock this morning before breakfast to find more grass as this is all eat off. We traveled till 6 1/2 being about three miles, and then turned out the teams to feed. The morning very cool. There seems to be very little rain in this country and no dew. Breakfasted on Goose and mouldy bread . . .
