Abstract
This
collection
consists
of
Martha's
diary
entries
from
December
1
,
1868
to
January
14
,
1869
describing
her
family's
journey
from
Provo
,
Utah
to 'the
muddy,
'
which
they were
sent
to
settle
. The
entries
are
29
pages
long
and are
photocopied
from a
holograph
of the
diary
. This
makes
the
writing
slightly
difficult
to
read
,
although
some
pages
are
more
legible
than
others
. The
diary
begins
'
14
in
family
of
BK
Bullock's
trek
to the
muddy.
'
Martha
wrote
every
day
,
describing
the
landscape
, the
weather
, the
food
that she
prepared
, the
condition
of the
roads
, and
trouble
they had with the
teams
. She
drove
a
team
and
fed
her
family
of
14
all
the
way
there.
Throughout
the
entries
,
Martha
refers
to
Kimball
and
Ann
helping
her on the
journey
. They
appear
to be
either
her
older
children
or
other
adults
from the
company
.
Along
the
way
, the
company
passed
through
several
towns
where
they
bought
food
and
visited
with
old
acquaintances
. They
stopped
in
Spanish
Fork
,
Salt
Creek
,
Fillmore
,
Beaver
City
,
Parowan
,
Dixie
, and
St
.
George
.
Partway
through
the
entries
there
is
map
that
Martha
sketched
;
however
,
it
is
difficult
to
interpret
. In the
early
entries
,
Martha
records
that the
camp
was in
good
spirits
despite
some
small
problems
: 'There
we
found
that the
folks
that had
gone
on
ahead
and
Kimballs
and
my
team
stuck
calf
tail
and
all
got
in to
camp
at
about
dark
then
we
got
supper
and then
put
the
children
to
bed
. There
I
took
my
pen
up
and
scratched
this
it
is
now
halfpast
nine
o
clock
and
all
is
well
in
camp
and in
bed
but
BK
and
myself
and
we
soon
shall
be.
'
Once
it
started
to
snow
, their
journey
was
more
difficult
.
One
day
Martha
records
'
snow
about
4
or
5
inches
deep
and
so
many
little
children
crying
with
cold.
'
Feeding
all
of the
children
was a
constant
struggle
. On
Wednesday
,
December
9th
she
wrote
'
About
the
same
melting
snow
and
cooking
tramping
[illegible]
washing
dishes
feeding
the
children
and they
say
ma
my
meat
and
bread
will
freeze
before
I
can
eat
it
ma
give
me
something
to
cut
ma
Aunt
Martha
give
me
some
bread
and
butter
ma
give
me
some
cheese
and
Kimball
says
it
is
all
for the
building
up
of the
kingdom
he
often
sings
cheer
up
my
lively
gals
their
better
days
ahead
well
for
all
that
Ann
and
me
often
get
in to the
wagon
and have a
nice
cup
of
tea.
'
Martha
includes
some
delightful
descriptions
of the
children
in
camp
. '
Ezra
is
abaking
seeat
cake
, He
makes
a
first
rate
hand
to
assist
me
but
it
takes
a
heap
of
grub
to
fill
up
the
boy.
' And,
Little
Ralph
is
laughing
at the
fun
and
Alonzo's
face
is
all
screwed
up
in
such
a
frown
we
are
afraid
it
will
freeze
when
his
mother
says
come
and
take
the
baby.
'
One
event
that
Martha
records
in
detail
is
driving
the
wagons
though
a
narrow
,
winding
canyon
in a
black
ridge
. She was
nearly
frightened
to
death
driving
the
team
on
such
bad
roads
: '
talk
about
Provo
Canyon
that
is
nothing
to
it.
'
Martha
also
recorded
some
of the
other
company
members
'
comments
on
making
it
though
this
canyon
.
Martha
enjoyed
St
.
George
and
wished
that they
could
stay
there, but they
continued
on. She
said
of this
time
, '
Every
day
gets
worse
and
worse
and
more
of
it
but
we
try
not to
grumble
any
more
than
we
can
help.
' In the
final
entry
on
January
14
,
1869
, she
records
, '
We
arrived
at the
top
of the
hill
that
is
here
we
can
look
down
to the
Muddy
and
we
all
felt
discouraged
for
we
could
find
no
wood
no
grass
no
nothing
but
ran
in
water.
