Subtitle: 'I take this method of notifying all persons, en route for California that the Indians on Mary's river, heretofore, have been very hostile, and committed many depredations upon the emigrants, by stealing cattle, horses, &c. and killing many of the travelers, and will most probably prove troublesome this season. . . . Given under my hand at Great Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, the twelfth day of June, 1852'
According to Crawley: "Brigham Young's Notice to the Emigrants! reports that [Indian Agent] Holeman had gone to where the trouble had occurred in an attempt to pacify the Indians. It urges the emigrant to travel in large companies, to keep their arms and ammunition in good order, and to guard their stock at night. There is little danger, it concludes, until after passing Goose Creek mountains, as the Shoshone and Snake Indians had been friendly."
