Mormon History, Aug 8, 1846. Saturday.

[William Clayton Journal] This morning we arose about 3 o'clock and while some took the cattle to graze the rest got the wagons loaded &c. ready to start. We got away soon after sunrise. I drove the cows on a mule. We traveled about 9 miles before we came to any water . . .
