From the diary of Hosea Stout- Wed. July 5th 1848. Hard on teams to day passing over Sandy bluffs. H[yrum]. Gates up Set one of his waggons on one but did not [hurt] any body. The grass is still pastured very close by the buffalo looking like old pastured fields. We encamped on Goose Creek 344 miles on our journey. https://history.churchofjesuschrist.org/overlandtravel/sources/5412...
