Liverpool to New York on the Minnesota (30 Jun 1868 - 12 Jul 1868)
THE MINNESOTA. -- The steamship Minnesota, with a company of Saints numbering 534 persons, left this
port for New York on Tuesday, June 30th. Previous to her departure, a meeting was held on the poop deck,
when the Saints were addressed by President F. [Franklin] D. Richards, upon the course which they should
pursue on their voyage. He exhorted them to faithfulness, unity, order, and brotherly love, and promised them,
on condition of observing these things, a safe and swift passage across the sea.
Elder C. [Charles] W. Penrose engaged in prayer, and dedicated the ship and the company to the care and
protection of Almighty God. Several hymns were sung, and much good feeling was displayed. In addition to the
presiding officers of the company, the following named returning missionaries took passage on the Minnesota --
Elders Isaac A. Kimball, Johathan Steggell, George Hunter, William S. Grant, and Almon Robison. The
Minnesota steamed away to sea at 4 a.m., amid the cheers and rejoicings of the Saints on board. God speed her
on her way."

"Sunday, July 14, 1867, at [-] o'clock, we anchored on U.S. shores, but we were held all day Sunday on the ship,
as the doctors didn't arrive until Monday morning to give [-] examinations. At the next stop, Castle Garden, we
changed [-] our money at the depot.

"At last we started on the long trip
westward, riding miles in cattle cars,
standing all the way.”
"As we traveled through the States
people would come to meet us
wherever we stopped, and they would
try to persuade us not to come to Utah,
telling us the people in Utah were a bad
lot. I told them I was acquainted with
quite a few of the people there, and I
could not see how they could have gone
from good to bad in such a short time,
anyway I was going on and see for
myself.

1868 LDS Immigration Wagon Train
However it is assumed they were with one of the 1868 Wagon Trains
”Arriving at Laramie [Fort Laramie] the
Mormon boys surrounded the train. They
had their belts and caps on. I was very
frightened, thinking we were surely
captured, when they quickly explained that
they were the Mormon boys, Salt Lake
Teamters, driving the horses for us. . .”
“Before we got off the train we got a sight
of the emigration teams waiting there for
us. Four or five hundred people were
gathered around the camp indulging in a
rough and rather uncouth dance. There were no ladies participating, however, it was only a stag dance of the
teamsters.”
"At Echo Canyon the teamsters fired their revolvers so we could hear the echo. The Mormon boys were
working in the middle of Echo Canyon building the railroad.. .”
"We arrived in Salt Lake the last of August, 1867. We were directed to the Tithing Office.
