Notes

"William Clayton described a typical day for the vanguard pioneers: “The order for traveling and camping . . . [is] as follows: At 5:00 in the morning the bugle is to be sounded as a signal for every man to arise and attend prayers before he leaves his wagon. Then cooking, eating, feeding teams, etc., till seven o’clock, at which time the camp is to move at the sound of the bugle. . . . At 8:30 p.m. the bugle [is] to be sounded again at which time all [are] to have prayers in their wagons and to retire to rest by nine o’clock.”"
