Father served as 'second in command, and also physician' to company of twenty-seven families with about fifty wagons. Train divided at Green River, most taking the Salt Lake route, but father was anxious to 'avoid the domain of Brigham Young' because of his involvement in earlier clash with Mormons at Far West, Missouri. Left 'large freight wagon' near Fort Hall. Down the Columbia by Chinook canoe and steamer. 'Father left us at The Dalles, and brought the wagon and team over the Mountains, arriving .... with only 3 oxen left." Minor wear to the fore-edges else a near fine copy.
