It was by no means a healthy haven. The Saints themselves called the Missouri bottoms, "Misery Bottoms." The name is borne out by the fact that over 600 of the faithful died during that first winter; and even Brig ham Young, their stalwart lead er, was sick much of the time.

Ac cording to one account thev crossed on a boat especially built for them; according to another, they used a boat belonging to Peter A. Sarpy, the noted fur trader. Be that is it may, throughout the summer the Mormons cross ed the river in great numbers. some by a Mormon ferry aiv.i 1 some by Sarpy's. By the end of the seasosn there were more than 12,000 Mormons camped along both sides of the river, and Winter Quarters boasted a population of approximately 3, 500. The village contained 533 log cabins and S3 sod houses, ar ranged symetrically in streets.
