document agreeing to guarantee the Saints certain privileges?
a.
The State of
Missouri
b.
The Federal
Government
c.
Ten Indian Chiefs

Yesterday’s answer:
b. Travel by ship
Samuel
Brannan, an energetic Elder of the Church in the New York branch, was appointed
to take charge of the Saints who should go to California by water. The ship
“Brooklyn” was finally chartered at a cost of $1,200 a month for the journey.
Over three hundred Saints asked for places. Two hundred and thirty-eight were
finally taken at a total cost for passage of $50 each.
