Hemy's oldest daughter, Henrietta, later wrote: that "Henry's clothes were commencing to wear out, his shoes had already gone, so he went to meeting in his broadcloth clothes, silk hat, and barefooted. One time he got a boot top and made soles for his feet, as they were sore from walking on the rough brushy g r ~ u n d . " ~ A Scotch immigration company consisting of sixteen wagons arrived on Tuesday, November 18. James and Isabella Bulloch and their family, who had left Scotland February 20, 1848, were among the settlers who were called by President Brigham Young to go to Coal Creek. James had spent some time in St. Louis where he and Matthew Canuthers purchased a farm together in order to earn enough money for supplies to travel on to Utah. Bulloch's son, David D. (seven years old) arrived in Cedar City ahead of the others, riding fiom Summit with a man hauling supplies. He was greeted by Henry Lunt who patted him on the head and said, "My boy, you have the honor of being the &st white boy on this creek." The new arrivals placed their wagons in line, each facing south, and made a brush wickiup to shield the campfires from the winter winds. At this time the men who were already there were building a stockade corral out of driftwood they had found along the creek banks. They were living in their wagon boxes which had been removed from the running gears. Dave Bulloch wrote the following about the Indians: We always med to treat them kindly, and whenever they stole from us, as they often did, or committed any other offense against us, we reported it to the Indian Chief We knew it would be best to let him punish them, for whatever punishment he gave them they were forced to take, but they never seemed to forgive a white man for bringing them to justice. The punishment most frequently given them was the whipping post. I remember seeing the Indians tied to our Liberty Pole, and seeing them whipped so hard that the blood oozed out of their skins. Later there was a guardhouse on each side of the Cedar Fort which was manned at all times in fear of the Indians.'
