The accounts provide significant
information about the camp [Zion’s]. First, they confirm that camp members
really did pool their money in a general fund. The accounts show donations by
approximately 170 members, some of whom, like John Tanner, contributed as much
as $170 while others, such as Allen Avery, contributed only four cents.
Interestingly, the account lists only one female member of the expedition as
donating money: Jane Clark, who, according to scholars, was a single woman
about whom little else is known. Clark is listed as contributing $50 to the
general fund, an amount that exceeded the majority of donations of other
members. Other individuals are listed as donating nothing. Although some
undoubtedly had nothing to contribute, others did not donate because, as Joseph
Holbrook later remembered, they were traveling with their families and those
with families were not asked to contribute anything to the general fund.
Instead, they were to take care of their families’ needs by themselves. In all,
the accounts show that camp members donated $1,659.59 to the camp’s general
fund, supplementing the approximately $330 that other Church members donated.
In addition, Joseph Smith contributed $644.28 to the expedition in
cash—obtained from Martin Harris, sales of the Book of Mormon, and
subscriptions to the Evening and the Morning Star—and in other property,
such as horses, a watch, and the use of harnesses and wagons. Smith’s
contributions appear to have been kept separate from the camp’s general fund.
