At General Conference on October 5, 1856, President Brigham Young announced that "many of our brethren and sisters are on the Plains with hand-carts... seven hundred miles from the place, and they must be brought here, we must send assistance to them... We must bring them from the Plains... I shall call upon the Bishops this day, I shall not wait until tomorrow, not until the next day, for sixty good mule teams and twelve or fifteen wagons." -Brigham Young
