John Aiken sees "the tracks of a large herd of cattle going up the Santa Clara, toward the Mormon settlements."
William Webb and eight men (including Honea) arrive at San Bernardino as advance party "of Captains Dukes and Turner's train." Daily Alta California publishes P's 14 October report from Angel's Camp.

Who is "P" of "P's report"?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. This comes from a rough timeline of the Mountain Meadows massacre given me by Will Bagley. It could be George Powers -- but that is an uneducated guess. I suspect one could check Blood of the Prophets to see what happened on Oct 14th, and determine the identity.
ReplyDeleteBlood of the Prophets: p.188 (last 2 lines), and p.419 (note 16.) strongly suggests or indicates it was George Powers. Thanks for the lead.
