From Nauvoo to Salt Lake in the Van of the Pioneers. The Original Diary of Erastus Snow. EDITED BY HIS SON, MORONI SNOW. II. At the close of the article in the last number of the Era we left the pioneers encamped on the Iowa side of the Mississippi river, suffering from cold and privations, patiently waiting a break in the weather in order to take up their wearisome journey across the plains. Continuing his record of these events, Erastus Snow records in his journal as follows: We had prepared ourselves with all manner of seeds and farming utensils, intending to stop at some convenient point and put in some spring crops, thereby establishing a temporary settle- ment for a wintering place for such of the p or as might be unable to get further the ensuing summer. March 1, 1846, the camp, numbaring about four hundred teams, left Sugar Creek, it being a warm and pleasant day, and from that time the winter broke and the frost began to leave the ground. The consequence may be imagined by those acquainted with the deep, muddy soil of the country. By the time we reached Jewett mills, on the Des Moines river, the roads were very bad. Here I broke down my wagon, and was under the necessity of stopping a day or two to repair it. The company, crossing the Des Moines river at Bonaparte, suc- ceeded in reaching a point twenty miles above, called Richardson's Point, ten miles from Keosauqua and three miles from Fox river.
