"We removed our encampment this day from the prairie ridge to the table
land on the bank of the Missouri River which was a
 beautiful place for a
City. The City was laid out in blocks of 20 rods by 40 each lot 4 by 10. I
had one block for my company which consisted of near 40 families so I
had to put about 2 families on a block. It was a very busy day. . . ." (Scott
Kenny, ed., Wilford Woodruff's Journal, 1833-1898, 3:85)

enough to hold all the cows of the division." (Willard Richards, Diary, LDS Church Archives)
