Brigham Young · 1856 October General Conference · 1856-10-05
Published in Journal of Discourses, Volume 4, pp. 112-114, delivered October 5, 1856 (pre-conference meeting; confirmed via independent web search and jod.mrm.org, used only as a private clue). The BYU ContentDM viewer does not expose a stable per-page deep link, so the collection landing page is recorded as a witness rather than source_url. This is the historically significant discourse in which Young issued the call to rescue the Willie and Martin handcart companies stranded on the plains. A prior pass of this note claimed only a summary was reproduced; heavyweight review found the body already contains the full text, matching the JD witness word-for-word from opening to closing.
Digital transcript; used as source_url because the BYU ContentDM viewer has no stable per-page deep link for this citation.
Full text of the discourse as published in the Journal of Discourses. Collection landing page only; no stable item-level link located.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass corrected a false 'excerpts only' claim in fidelity_notes; body is actually full text, confirmed against jod.mrm.org.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: speaker, date, page range (JD 4:112-114), and opening/closing sentences independently confirmed verbatim against jod.mrm.org. Corrected a stale fidelity_notes claim that only a summary was reproduced — the body already contains the full text. Corrected the title to include the full JD subtitle. No text changes needed; talk boundaries clean.
