. . . We left Liverpool under the leadership of Edward Martin on the ship Horizon. There were 856 Saints in all who were coming to North America. Storms arose and the ship tipped to and fro and delayed us from a straight voyage; however, on the evening of 28 June, 1856, the ship cast anchor in the Boston Harbor. By this time my mother was getting better and able to get around some, so we joined the Saints and went west to Iowa. After landing we took what might be called cattle cars, which were thought good enough for Mormons, until we reached Iowa. We remained in Iowa City from July 8 to July 28, 1856, where my father secured work, and with the means was able to get two handcarts and some food and clothes to make the journey across the plains. . . .[p.304]

. . . Only about one-half of our company survived to reach Salt Lake Valley; however, all of my people got through. We arrived in Salt Lake on November 30, 1856, being six months from England. Brother Wheelock and Brother Goddard were in the crowd to meet us when we arrived. . . .[p.306]
