[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 17th We started out on a Buffalo Hunt this morning But after viewing the Hills & Plains we could not see any Buffalo Cows & as Bulls were poor this season of the Year we would not kill any of them so we returned to camp, Harnessed our Horses & drove 12 miles & camped on the Bank of the Platt. Grass quite good.
On the way I exhamined the grave stone of A young man who was drowned while swiming the river in the spring. He was one of the Mo emigrants going to Oregon. It is warm plesant weather. Distance 12.
