Description

"Saturday March the 6th. We drilled as before and through the day we play ball and amuse ourselves the best way we can. It is very cool weather and clothing scarce."

Smith, Azariah, The Gold Discovery Journal of Azariah Smith [Utah State University, Logan UT, 1996], page 78. Submitted by John Thorn, 10/12/2004. Note -- We should investigate the nature of the journey and the approximate location if possible.

Comment

It appears the Mormon battalion was, on March 6, 1848, at or near San Diego, CA, but Smith himself wiht a detachment was at/near Coloma. [ba]
