[Oregon Trail] An estimated 5000 Oregon-bound emigrants are on the Trail this year, most of them departing from Independence and Westport. Sam Barlow's party arrives late at The Dalles and strikes out to find an overland route around the south shoulder of Mount Hood. Stephen Meek leads a party through the uncharted reaches of central Oregon, gets lost in the high desert, and still beats Barlow to The Dalles.

Brigham Young, who will become the second Mormon prophet, seems to teach against Blood Atonement. "When men have come into our midst who were as corrupt as the devil himself, many have supposed it would have been better to have cut their throats with a feather and exposed their sins of corruption, and let them go to hell where they belonged, than to have borne with them as Brother Joseph Smith did; but this course would meet with a conflicting argument" (History of the Church, Vol. 7, p. 366).
