"left our encampment the 9th about 2 oclock in the afternoon and traveled about 10 miles toward the Elkhorn"
*********
As soon as Brigham and some of the other men who were with him were finished up some business at Winter Quarters, they joined up with the others and announced that they would be on their way.
He felt it would be to their advantage to start getting as much land behind them as they could for their own safety. They were on their way to get across the Elkhorn River.
There would be one more trip back to Winter Quarters for Brigham for a meeting with John Taylor and to collect the important equipment.
