Additional
interesting information:
Even though
Kartchner had to be persuaded, it’s interesting to note that many didn’t, and
that in fact more than had been called showed up at the point of departure in
Payson. Again from
Kartchner’s
journal:
He
noted, “It was seen a Grate many more than was called was moving with us &
Prest. B. Young and H. C. Kimball called a meeting at this Place & Heber
Preached and Discouraged many from going.”
President Young then declared, “He was sick at the sight of so many of
the Saints running off to California.”
Only twenty
families were initially called to go, nevertheless 437 individuals departed.
Brigham felt many were leaving because of the enticements of the world.
