17 June 1850 to 22 January 1856. The diary picks up as Duke is traveling from the Winter Quarters area to Salt Lake City. On the trail, his diary entries consist mainly of miles traveled and passing remarks on major landmarks. He arrives at Salt Lake City. Duke and his family move to Provo and he becomes a member of the Provo City Council. He is rebaptized, and becomes a bishop. There is a three year gap in his diary. A man is accidentally killed at the Pioneer Day celebration by a burst cannon. Various church duties keep Duke busy and the diary ends for no apparent reason.
