      Mature, single women who were early converts and emigrants to Utah have received short shrift in Latter-day Saint History.Although the two ill-fated handcart companies of 1856 suffered most of the deaths, several of the wagon companies that were bringing up the rear, including the one in which Elizabeth traveled, were also caught in the early winter storms that swept the barren highlands of Wyoming in October and November.

          WOOLSEY, Thomas: Journal Entries

          [On arriving at the South Fork of the Platte River, they decided to follow along the bank, and passed an old deserted Indian village. An east wind blasted their faces, and the temperature plummeted. They were forced to take shelter under the bank of the river, where they slept on the ice. The weather was so cold that six inches of the tail of one of their mules was frozen.]

            CALL, Helaman Pratt

            My father had done a little experimenting. We had a large bathtub in one of the bedrooms in our home—it hadn’t been remodeled. They had just put in a bathtub and a toilet and a hand bowl in one of the bedrooms so there was quite a bit of room in there. It was a large oversize tub. I thought my father was going to baptize me but Charles Jones was going to baptize me. He had experimented how full he could fill the tub without running it over and still get me and him both in the tub. They put a stopper on the overflow so that the water would come up higher than the normal overflow would allow.

              The Adventures of Nathan W. Adams

              Much fanfare accompanied the completion of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Point, Utah on May 10, 1869. Two weeks later Major John Wesley Powell and nine companions in four row boats left Green River, Wyoming, with almost no fanfare, to explore the Green and Colorado Rivers. It was a trip fraught with danger that only six of the men completed. Although not involved in running the river, my great uncle, Nathan Adams, would later share the adventures experienced by Powell’s second exploration crew as they mapped the Grand Canyon area during the 1870s. A hundred and forty years later only a few intrepid tourists visit Promontory Point each year, while tens of thousands of tourists, many of them from foreign countries, enjoy the marvelous scenery discovered by Powell and his colleagues.

              Life of James Kippen

              Mr. Kippen was a firm believer in the teachings of his church regarding work for the dead, doing work along this line in the temple for members of his family who had died out of the faith of the Mormon Church, believing that by this means he would be able to save their souls. He passed all through the scenes of hardships and difficulties which the settlement of Utah made a matter of history, and during the Johnston Army troubles, he served as a guard in the Green River country and in Echo Canyon.

                  POND, Stillman Pond

                  On February 2nd 1846 the migration west began. Stillman and his family remained in Nauvoo until after the battle of Nauvoo in September 1846 when they were driven at the point of a bayonet across the river. Tribulations and hardships were many as the winter set in early and the Mormon refugees were without the proper food, clothing and shelter. The camp was ravaged by malaria, cholera, and consumption. The Pond family fell victim of all of these diseases. Stillman’s wife, Maria, became consumptive and all the children were afflicted with malaria. Snow fell early on the plains of Iowa and along the way Stillman and Maria buried their son Lowell Anson in September of 1846 on the plains of Iowa. Maria’s body wracked with pain and bowed down with grief for the loss of her son; was unable to walk and was confined to her bed in the back of the wagon with the fever of malaria. In this condition she gave birth to twin boys Joseph and J. Hyrum, the later part of September and the twins died a few days later and were also buried along the trail in Iowa.
