George W. Hill baptizes more than 300 Shoshone Indians in [the Malad River of] Box Elder County, Utah, and performs priesthood administrations which heal many of them. The First Presidency establishes Washakie Farm for Indian converts in Box Elder County. Two years later one of Brigham Young's sons writes of these Native American converts: "They practiced polygamy [before LDS baptism] & of course continue it."
