Summary
Describes being out with dragoons in pursuit of Indians who have committed robberies on the Emigrant Road. In spite of the vigilance of the troops, two or three small trains have been robbed and burnt, and some twelve or fifteen people, men, women, and children killed. Moore describes the Indians responsible as a small, outlaw portion of the tribe. Moore is angry that some of the very Indians concerned in these depredations have been in the Mormon settlements while we were looking for them in distant places, and the Mormons gave no word of it. Discusses good weather and fishing.
