Howard Egan kept a great journal on the trail west
while traveling with Brigham Young’s group in 1847. Hazards occurred on the
trail, in fact, to go a day without some type of hazard was the exception, not
the norm. April 27th he
mentions they experience five hazards in one day. What were the hazards?
a.
Natives,
sickness, accidental shooting, Buffalo Stampede, wolves
b.
Lost livestock,
natives, weather, lack of water, accidental shooting
c.
Weather,
sickness, Buffalo stampede, sickness, lack of water
d.
Lost livestock,
handcarts breaking down, accidental shooting, weather, sickness

Nancy Clement Williams’s reaction to Colonia Diaz,
Mexico, in 1890, with its “mud houses and mud fences; the street full of
Mosqueat,” was about as disappointed as that of Angelina Farley, who arrived in
the Salt Lake Valley in 1855, complaining in her journal that “everything seems
lifeless and tasteless. I can anticipate no rest or pleasure.”
