Mormon History, May 18, 1847

[Brigham Young Sermon] President Young called the captains together and reproved all the brethren who had been wasting their shot and powder, reproved the horsemen for wasting the strength of their horses, without benefiting the camp. Some had been murmuring about their meet, while at the same time a great deal had been wasted and ordered that no more game be killed until it was needed. -- Hershey, Nebraska [Pioneer Camp of the Saints, Journals of Thomas Bullock. Will Bagley, ed. Logan: Utah State University Press, 2007. 159]
