Thursday, July 29-President Young,
with number OF others, mounted their
horses and started out to meet the battal-
ion detachment under the command OF
Captain James Brown. They met the adj
vance columns OF the soldiers about four
miles from camp, and proceeding further
they met Captains Brown and Higgins,
Lieutenant Willis and the main company
some distance up in Emigration canyon
There were 140 OF the battalion and about
one hundred of the Mississippi SaintsWho
came with them from Pueblo. They had
with them twenty nine wagons, one car
riage, 100 horses and mules and 500 head
of cattle, which greatly added to the
strength of the pioneer camp, increasing
the number Of souls there to about four
hundred.
Before the companies emerged from the
canyon, a water cloud burst. which sent
the water into the creeks from the noun
tains with a rush and roar like thunder,
resembling the opening of a flood gate.
The shower spread over large portion of
the valley
The pioneers returned at the head OF
the companies and marched into camp
with martial music. The soldiers APP
peared in military order, and many OF
them were mounted. They arrived at the
lower camp of the pioneers about q
O'Clock p. M, and subsequently made
their encampment on City creek, between
the upper and lower pioneer camps. As
many of their wagons were broken and
their teams failing, they were under the
necessity OF stopping until further orders
although they had intended to proceed at
once to the bay of San Francisco. The
twelve returned to the upper camp at
O'Clock o. m. The meeting between the
brethren of the Pioneers and the battalion
boys was indeed joyful one.
Friday, July 30.-This morning the
twelve met in council with the officers OF
the battalion, and afterwards about
thirty visited the Hot Springs. In the
evening general meeting of the camps
was held, and President Young, who
spoke, directed his remarks more par
ticularly to the soldiers He considered
that the battalion had been the means of
saving the Saints from destruction, and
felt very l1inkly disposed toward them for
the sacrifice they bad made. They were
requested TO build bowery on the Tenn
pie block on the morrow, in which the
people could assemble for worship.

where the bridge now crosses the
creek at the northeast corner OF the Tenn
pie block. This spot seemed a more de-
sirable camp ground than the one then
occupied. He returned to camp and by
permission moved his wagons on to the
ground. President Young, riding with
Apostle Woodruff in the latter carriage,
and others, soon after came along, and
being SO pleased with the location,
directed the company to move on to it,
which was subsequently done. Near this
new camp ground they made a choice
spot for a garden, which they began to till
the same day.
About III O'Clock a. m. President

started from camp on a short ex-
ploring expedition. Ascending the noun
tains northward, they reached about five
miles from camp) the top of high peak,
on the edge of the mountains, which they
considered good place to raise an ensign,
SO they named it "Ensign Peak, a" a
name by which it is still known. Will
ford Woodruff was the first person to as
cend this hill. Brigham Young became
very tired and weary in climbing it on ac-
count of his recent sickness. The view of
the lake and valley from Ensign peak
was very pleasing to the brethren.
From this point the explorers descended
to the valley below and then started north
to visit the Hot Sulphur springs. After
spending considerable time in that vicin-
ity they returned to camp about 5 o'clock

plows and other farming implements. A
company who had been to the noun
tains for the purpose of getting timber,
with which to build skiff returned in the
evening, bringing very handsome pine
log, measuring about twenty inches in
diameter They went to work immedi-
ately preparing a saw pit in which to saw
the log and intended to make a skiff as
soon as possible.
During the afternoon several other In
dams came into camp to trade. Some of
them remained with the pioneers over
night.
Wednesday, July 2S-The exploring
party arose refreshed and feeling well
after having slept in the open air.
They travelled about ten miles south
along the eastern base of the Oqulrrh
mountains, found barren country and
no water. Orson Pratt assembled a ridge
about three miles south of point where
the company halted for noon. From
the top of this ridge he could see the Utah
lake. Striking eastward across the valley
the explorers returned to the main camp,
arriving there tired and weary about
O'Clock p m. after having travelled dur
ing the day thirty miles. On this trip
they saw about one hundred goats, sheep
and antelope playing about the hills and
valleys.
After returning from this trip the COM
pany was more satisfied than ever that
they were already encamped upon the
spot WI ere their contemplated city
should be built. Apostle Woodruff
writes:
After our return to the camp, President
Young called council of the quorum OF the
Twelve. There were present: Brigham
Young, Heber G. Kimball. Willard Richards,
Orson Pratt MILFORD Woodruff, George A.
Smith, Amasa M. Lyman and Ezra T. Benson.

summit the president directed Elder
Woodruff, in whose carriage he was lying
sick, to turn it around so that he could
have view from that point of a portion
of Salt Lake valley.
He declared that there was no place
where the Saints would find protection
and safety. From the summit of this
mountain they Travelled six miles, when
they came to a beautiful spring in a small
birch grove, where they encamped for the
night Here they met Elders Pack and
Matthews from the advance camps, who
reported that the men ahead had explored
the Great Salt Lake valley as far as
possible, and made choice of a spot to put
in crops.
Saturday, July, M.-In the forenoon
the pioneers commenced planting pota-
toes, after which they turned the water
from the creek upon them and gave the
ground good soaking.
About noon, President Young, Heber
G. Knnball, MILFORD Woodruff, Lorenzo
d. Young and the others who constituted
the rear company, arrived at the pioneer
dent and all who had suffered with sick
ness were improving quite fast and were
now able to walk around. Apostle Viii
ford Woodruff, in describing his entrance
into the valley that day, writes:
This is one of the most important days of
my life and in the history of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints After trav-
