Published in Journal of Discourses, Volume 11, pp. 129-137, under the printed heading "Summary of Instructions." Header reads "Given by President Brigham Young to the people of Box Elder and Cache Counties, Aug. 1-10, 1865. Reported by G. D. Watt." This is a composite record compiling remarks from a multi-day, multi-settlement tour (the body itself names Cache Valley and Logan) rather than a single dated discourse; date/date_precision therefore record the range as approximate, using the first day of the printed range. The printed volume/page range is the authority for scope.

Carruth CR 100 912 inventory item cr-100-912-0202. Scholarly re-transcription of George D. Watt's original Pitman shorthand report, catalogued at the Church History Library. Papers of George D. Watt MS 4534 box 4 disk 2 1865 image 244, the Kays Ward stop. Sermon in Journal of Discourses 11:129; not in CR 100 317. Transcribed by LaJean Purcell Carruth 2 January 2019. Carruth's footnotes record that the sermons of the August 1 to 10 journey to Box Elder and Cache Counties are reported as a single printed entry beginning at Journal of Discourses 11:129, and footnote 3 documents one editorial divergence directly, the printed text recasting the shorthand's claim about industry and economy into We should be the most industrious and the most economical of any people upon the face of the whole earth. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 11:129 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.
Carruth CR 100 912 inventory item cr-100-912-0204. Scholarly re-transcription of George D. Watt's original Pitman shorthand report, catalogued at the Church History Library. Papers of George D. Watt MS 4534 box 4 disk 2 1865 images 243 and 250-254, the Logan stop, dated in Watt's longhand Logan Sunday Aug 6. Summarized within the composite entry at Journal of Discourses 11:129-137; not in CR 100 317. Transcribed by LaJean Purcell Carruth 13 September 2018. The CHL description gives no volume and page, and the reference above is supplied from Carruth's footnote that the sermons of the August 1 to 10 journey to Box Elder and Cache Counties are reported as one sermon beginning at Journal of Discourses 11:129; only the telegraph, printing press, and machine shop counsel reached print, so the shorthand uniquely preserves Young's accounting of the Perpetual Emigrating Fund obligations, his invitation to the northern choirs and the pennyroyal singing rebuke, and the extended remarks on merchants and fashions. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 11:129-137 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.
Carruth CR 100 912 inventory item cr-100-912-0205. Scholarly re-transcription of George D. Watt's original Pitman shorthand report, catalogued at the Church History Library. Papers of George D. Watt MS 4534 box 4 disk 2 1865 images 256-257, headed in Watt's longhand Brigham City Aug. 7. Summarized within the composite entry at Journal of Discourses 11:129-137, with Carruth pointing the morning sermon at 11:133 and the afternoon sermon at 11:134; not in CR 100 317. Transcribed from George D. Watt's shorthand record by LaJean Purcell Carruth 9 July 2012. This is a two-sermon item and Carruth notes that only two small portions of the pair were printed, so the shorthand uniquely preserves the bulk of the afternoon Utah War reminiscences, including Young's account of General Johnston and Colonel Alexander, the blood hounds brought by government order, and his charge to General Wells. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 11:129-137 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.

Watt MS 4534 box 4 disk 2 1865 images 261-264. Sermon in Journal of Discourses 11:129-137; not in CR 100 317. Transcribed by LaJean Purcell Carruth 14 January 2019. This shorthand covers only the Ogden City sermon of 10 August 1865, which Carruth notes was compiled with Young's other sermons from the 1-10 August Box Elder and Cache journey into the single printed discourse at JD 11:129-137, where it supplies the closing pages. Recorded as a separate witness per docs/ingestion.md's Carruth policy; the printed Journal of Discourses 11:129-137 text stays preferred until this transcription is reviewed against it.
