Other members of the party were: Brigham Young, a wife and daughter; Lorenzo Dow Young, a wife and fourteen-year-old son; Amos Milton Musser, assistant to Brigham Young and superintendent of the Deseret Telegraph Company, and his wife; Elijah F. Sheets, fifty years a Mormon bishop and close business associate of Brigham Young; William C. Staines (Elder Potto or Potteau) the cripple fre- quently referred to by Mrs. Kane; and a telegrapher-probably William A. C. Bryan. The party left Salt Lake on December 12, 1872, via the Utah Southern Railroad which was completed as far as Lehi, Utah County, September 1872. I |
