Excerpt from Tullidge's Histories, Vol. 2: Containing the History of All the Northern, Eastern and Western Counties of Utah; Also the Counties of Southern Idaho; With a Biographical Appendix of Representative Men and Founders of the Cities and Counties January loth, 1860, we had two shocks of earthquake at Parowan, which were quite severe. The second shock occurred at A. M. During this month I started with my family for Salt Lake City, and on Corn Creek where I arrived at 10 o'clock P.

Knowing I was in their power, I put on a bold face, called for their cap-i-tan in their own _(pah-vant) language, and asked them where I could camp. The chief sent an Indian to show me a good place, others followed, with dry wood and made a good fire, while another took my teams away; while I knew not if I should ever see them again. In the morning the Indian brought my teams back, having herded them all night. The cap - i - tan said that as my horses had eaten some of his grass I ought to pay something, which I did, giving him a shirt - and some flour. Both parties were well satisfied. If I had shown fear, they would have plundered me of everything perhaps killed us. I finally arrived with my family May 5th, and that night a deep snow fell, and it cleared off so cold that thousands of fruit trees in the city were killed by the frost. While in Salt Lake City I cut and hauled wood from the west mountain, until, on July lgth, I started to Cache County, to survey lands there, by desire of President B. Young.
