Some of the memories from the pioneers have been recovered. They have been found in journals that loved one have handed down.
Memories
I can just close my eyes and see everything, the endless walking, walking, ever to remain in my memory. I was so tired. As a youngster I cried and hung onto the handcart,just to be pushed away. My parents were to tired to help me.
Memory
One day we came to a section inhabited by rattlesnakes. We would have to jump over them, watching very careful not to step on one.
Memory:
By the time we reached Devils Gate, in Wyoming, we were out of provisions. Many pioneers had died or were dieing. All of the camp was asleep,then suddenly awakened by a noise,we thought it was indians yelling. How great was our surprise, a relief team from Salt lake was bringing food.
Memory:
We could see buffalo as thick as leaves on the trees for miles around. Sometimes they had to be scared with a gunshot to move them off the trail so we could get by.
Memory:
My feet were so swollen from walking I could not wear my shoes. Then when the swelling went down, my feet were so sore from all the alkali I never had on a pair of shoes for the rest of the journey.
