[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 18th The camp was called together or the Captains of Companies & President Young sharply reproved the Hunters for shooting so much meet when it was not needed & detaining the camp or for taking life any more than could be helpd And Also the horsman for their indiferance in picking out the road. He said there was but two that had rode that manifested any interest in helping him get the Camp along. He spoke vary sharply upon the indiferance of men, & they rejected the meet when it was brought into Camp &c.
The camp started out after the meet was disposed of & the Hunters or Horsman went forward to pick out the road instead of going Hunting. I did not hear a gun fired on the road during the day.
Amasa Lyman was one called by name & reproved for not paying any attention to seeking out the road. But he was with us to day in that business.
We rode 6 miles & nooned. We rode in the afternoon 9 3/4 miles & camped for the night. Distance of the day 15 3/4 m.
