Bridger's relations with Mormons. Order from B.Y. to arrest Bridger for inciting Indians to war against Mormons. Bridger goes to D.C. to meet officials and President; heads back to Ft. Laramie to wait for Johnston; becomes Johnston's guide/Ft. Bridger ownership and transactions. Mormons burn surrounding buildings of Fort when retreating 'Brigham made a bona fide deal with Bridger, through Vasquez, and the reputation Brigham bore among friends and foes was that he never reneged on a contract.'
