Mormon History, Aug 21, 1848

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 21st I spent the day with Brs Little Rockwood Carter Felt Robins & others. In the perusal of the publications of the day we discover calamity among the nations. Thrones are being cast down. War & rumours of wars fires & Judgments on evry hand. During the last week one forth part of Albany is laid in ruins by fire. Loss from 3 to 5 millions of dollars. The great out break in Ireland that was expected has closed without much sheding of Blood but it seems that nearly every part of Europe is in war.
