April 9, 1850 to May 26, 1857. This is a heavily edited collection of William Branch's diary entries, mainly describing distances and locations traveled. Branch travels in a wagon company to Salt Lake City headed by Wilford Woodruff and rides ahead of the company to get additional wagons. Branch is then assigned to help build the capital building in Fillmore. He travels on a mission to Carson City, Nevada, and leads a handcart company comprised of missionaries called to Europe.
