 D. Leaving the women waiting for evening prayer

 During travel days, families took care of their teams and wagons, fixed meals, packed and unpacked bedding, walked and rode, herded loose cattle and sheep, picked flowers and berries, hunted firewood, and tried to go as far as possible before camping for the night. “We have large campfires around which we gather, sing songs, both spiritual and comic, then all united in prayer,” Louisa Pratt journalized. Those who wrote about the Spring Exodus rarely mention that any Sunday church meetings took place.

 Early in June, the women in Louisa Pratt’s company, too often ignored by the men decision makers, decided to organize themselves. They adopted two resolutions: First, that when men called for prayers and get sidetracked in conversation, “the sisters retire to some convenient place, pray by themselves and go about their business”’ and second, that “if the men wish to hold control over women, that they be on the alert. We believe in equal rights.”
