[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 16th We travled to day out of the Buffalo range & camped on the Platt. Just before Camping our Brethren who had been sent on to overtake the ox teams came to us except two continued on. They could not gain upon the teams & gave it up.
Br Luke Johnson Came near being killed by a herd of Buffalo travelling in the night A large herd came upon him suddenly & he was caught in the midst of thems & could not get out & the herd was some 15 minutes passing him & the ownly way He kept them from treading on him was by hollowing & striking & punching them with his cane on each side of him as they came along & they would open Just wide enough for him to stand as they passed along. 15.
