'< In the camp consisting of ninety or more men, ahout thirty women and sixty children, moving in eighty-three or more wagons through an extremely rough country, one would naturally look for some trouble and a few accidents, hut this was not the case. All was hustle and harmony." "About December 17 it was decided to send men out to look over the proposed route to ascertain whether it was possible to get through to the San Juan at the point where the former explorers had made 'locations' during the summer before, and for this purpose George W. Sevy, L. H. Redd Sr., George Hobbs, and George Morrell were chosen, or volunteered." "Before this party of scouts started out, a general meeting was held at Forty Mile Spring where the sitnation was discussed. The Saints were encouraged by the principles laid down in the ancient as well as modem scriptures that a religion that does not require sacrifice, if or when necessary, of all things does not have the power within it to save in the Celestial Kingdom."
