Sheese! Do these ‘elders’ have ANY CLUE whatsoever?
A BRIEF HISTORY OF MARTINS COVE
On the 19th of October 1856, the Martin Handcart Company crossed the North Platte River,perhaps at Bessemer Bend-about six miles southwest of present-day Casper, Wyoming. That was the day the big snow storm hit. They pulled up the bluff, a little less than a mile above the river, and camped for the night. There was no fuel for a fire, they were cold, their clothes were wet and frozen, most of the tents were frozen, the ground was frozen, many just crawled into the tents on the ground for protection for the night. As many as 13 died of exposure before morning. The next day, they traveled about five miles up toward a small hill on which were some trees—they still had to go about 1/2 mile from camp for firewood.
The storm continued—it was impossible to travel; the snow was up to 12 inches deep—the temperature was below zero--plus the Wyoming winds. The conditions continued until the 28 of October. On October 28, 1856, three men on horseback arrived in camp. These men had been sent on ahead of the main rescue party to find where the Martin Company was and to assess their condition. It was reported to these men that 56 people had died since they had crossed the North Platte River.
And MORMONs complain that GENTILES killed them?
Looks like a False Prophet by the name of BRIGHAM YOUNG killed a LOT of them!
Sheese! Do these ‘elders’ have ANY CLUE whatsoever?
