Yesterday’s answer:
C The Civil War
From the life of John Druce:
In reference to emigrating to Utah: Says he: “It was a
very critical time to travel through the States. The Civil War had just begun
and the feeling against the saints was quite bitter. At Dunkirk, New York, the
company was detained part of a day and all one night, none being allowed to
leave the depot. At Quincy, Ill., men gathered about the train, swearing and
uttering threats, but none were harmed. At Hannibal, Missouri, the train of
cars was taken away by soldiers, in order to clear the road, the guerillas
having set fire to the bridge over which the train must pass. None were allowed
to leave the depot; all slept on the station floor.”
