1838 - The Kirtland Camp continued traveling across Missouri towards Far West. They had been told they would be harassed while traveling through the Huntsville area, but passed through without incident. They camped six miles west of Huntsville on Dark Creek, near where the Latter-day Saint community of Manti was being planned to be built. Due to persecution, Manti was never settled. They continue to hear rumors of the problems at Far West and Adam-ondi-Ahman but continue on with faith in the Lord. Also, General Parks, of the Missouri Militia, writes a letter to Governor Boggs informing him that the Saints "have shown no disposition to resist the laws, or of hostile intentions." Several groups of militia were disbanded, but the Daviess county men were determined to "drive the Mormons with powder and lead."
