[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] Feb 5 I went to the office & took the Moquis Indians to Brother Savages Picture gallery & got their likenesses taken which they were Much Pleased with. We also raised a subscription to get them some Hoes & Axes. ...
The Funeral of all the soldiers who were brought in dead from the Indian Battle Field [Bear River Massacre] were buried at Camp Douglass this Afternoon under Catholic Crosses. 16 were buried. 49 were wounded in the Hospital, & 74 badly frozen.
