June 22, 1849 to October 19, 1849. Smith resides in Council Bluffs, Iowa while preparing to cross the Plains in the George A. Smith company. She focuses on her husband George A. Smith's trips, landmarks passed, unusual weather, and the mail. Smith records the arrival of teams from the Valley, writing that they were greeted with singing and dancing. Much suffering is caused by an early blizzard and the diary ends as the company is camped near Fort Bridger.
