Yesterday’s answer:
B Wool
From the life of Calista Bass Allen: Calista fed her
children only bread and a quarter of a deer for the entire first winter at
Winter Quarters. After three years, Calista and her family crossed the Plains
in two wagons. They arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, October 30, 1850.
Calista and her husband were called to help build up Hobble Creek
(Springville), where her husband entered polygamy, taking a second wife. They
were then called to move to Cedar City. On the way the children picked wool
from sage brush which had been left as sheep had passed through the area.
Calista and the second wife washed, carded and spun the wool, knit part into
stockings and wove the rest into cloth from which the family was clothed.
During the first fall and winter they lived in a tent where Calista delivered
the second wife’s baby.
