175 years ago today - Apr 29, 1838

[Wilford Woodruff Journal] 29 <Monday> We arose in the morning & persued our journey. We passed through Sheepscott, wisscassett, Bath, Brunswick & spent the night in Freeport. We both suffered much during this day's walk with blistered feet & weary limbs but we felt it was for Christ's sake & the gospels & did not wish to to murmer. 40 m.

  1. April 29th was a Sunday in 1838 (30th a Monday). WW must have lost track of the days. It is quite reasonable to expect this due to his weariness in walking for long distances.
