bottoms of the Mississippi in Iowa. I shall not attempt to tell you of the
sufferings of these poor people; weak, sick hungry, cold, and wet. It would
make your heart ache to see the picture, one of the saddest in all our
history.

At this time, when it seemed as though these people would starve to death,
a strange thing happened. Great flocks of quail came flying into camp. They
flew against the wagons with such force that they were killed or stunned,
so that they could be picked up. They also alighted all over the camp and
were so tame that they could be taken by the hand. Thus the Lord sent food
to his hungry children.

If you wish to read a very interesting account of this removal from Nauvoo,
read Colonel Kane's lecture, found in many of our larger histories.[2]
