Page 134 - I have counted the revolutions of a wagon wheel in order to get the exact distance we have traveled.

Accordingly I measured the circumference of one of the hind wheels of Brother Kimball's wagon, being the one I sleep in, in charge of Philo Johnson. I found the wheel exactly fourteen feet eight inches in circumference, not varying one eighth of an inch. Page 305 - After traveling 1% miles we found the road crossing the creek again to the south side and then ascend a very steep hill — so very steep that it was almost impossible for heavy wagons to ascend, and so narrow that the least accident might precipitate a wagon down a bank of three or four hundred feet, in which case it certainly would be dashed to pieces.
