1513 Antoine d’Arces, or d’Arcy, is usually known as “De la Bastie” returned to Scotland immediately after the Scots’ defeat at Flodden to help form Albany’s government. Antoine returned with some ships of the Royal Scots Navy which had been lent to France. As a French ambassador, his instructions from Louis XII of France dated 5 October 1513 include: commiserating with the Scots’ King’s widow Dowager Queen Margaret Stewart (nee Tudor); finding out the circumstances of James’s (IV) death at Flodden; and going to Denmark to give an account of the state of Auld Alliance.

1694 The Darien Colony (between Atlantic and Pacific) sometime in October. Thus expelled from the Bank of England, Paterson turned his thoughts to the plan of settling a Scot’s colony in America, and in a part of that country so favoured in point of situation, that it seemed to him formed to be the site of the most nourishing commercial capital in the universe.  (Unknown to Paterson, The Isthmus of Darien (later Panama) was unsettled because it was infected with Yellow Fever, which killed off the settlers. Prevention and cure had to wait two centuries until Pasteur’s discovery of the microbial theory of disease, in the 1850’s, and Colonel Walter Reed’s clinical trial proof of the discovery of yellow fever transfer to humans by mosquitoes, in 1900, and not by contaminated bedding or sewage. Defeat Mosquitoes, and defeat the Yellow Jack. To defeat mosquitoes, eliminate all open air water storage – pots, tires, drains, etc.)

1856 Wyoming Territory Rocky Mountains. Nellie Unthank (age 10, nee Pucell – Unthank is a small hamlet in Scotland) is on the high plains of Wyoming with about 800 other Saints as early winter winds and high altitude of the Continental divide (over 8000 feet) and nightly freezing temperatures kill off by twos and tens the migrants. Starvation. Missionaries have passed the Willie and Martin hand cart companies on the trail and ride fast into Salt Lake Valley to advise President Brigham Young who is holding the semi annual conference.

https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1991/10/our-mission-of-saving?lang=eng by Gordon B. Hinckley October 1991. On temple square the semi annual conference was held. Elder Hinckley described the events thus far. ‘’ We did not have this great Tabernacle at that time. Our people then met in the Old Tabernacle, which stood just to the south of us. It was Sunday, October 5, 1856. On Saturday, the day before, a small group of missionaries returning from England arrived in the valley. They had been able to make relatively good time because their teams were strong and their wagons light. Franklin D. Richards was their leader. They immediately sought out President Brigham Young. They told him that hundreds of men, women, and children were scattered along the trail that led from the Missouri River to the Salt Lake Valley. Most of them were pulling handcarts, two companies of these, with two smaller companies following behind with ox teams and wagons. The first group was probably at this time in the area of Scotts Bluff, more than four hundred miles from their destination, with the others behind them. It was October, and they would be trapped in the snows of winter and perish unless help was sent.

Brigham Young had known nothing of this. There was, of course, at that time no rapid means of communication—no radio, no telegraph, no fast mail. He was then fifty-five years of age. The next morning, the Sabbath, he stood before the people in the Tabernacle.’’

These were President Young’s remarks.

Brigham Young. I wish the most strict attention of the entire congregation, for if there is walking and talking within and around this bowery, a great many will not be able to hear. And I request those who wish to talk and whisper, to remove so far that they will not disturb the congregation to-day, nor during the Conference, as the assembly, undoubtedly, will be very large. I will now give this people the subject and the text for the Elders who may speak to-day and during the Conference, it is this, on the 5^th day of October, 1856, many of our brethren and sisters are on the Plains with hand-carts, and probably many are now seven hundred miles from this place, and they must be brought here, we must send assistance to them. The text will be–to get them here! I want the brethren who may speak to understand that their text is the people on the Plains, and the subject matter for this community is to send for them and bring them in before the winter sets in.

That is my religion; that is the dictation of the Holy Ghost that I possess, it is to save the people. We must bring them in from the Plains, and when we get them here, we will try to keep the same spirit that we have had, and teach them the way of life and salvation; tell them how they can be saved, and how they can save their friends. This is the salvation I am now seeking for, to save our brethren that would be apt to perish, or suffer extremely, if we do not send them assistance.

I shall call upon the Bishops this day, I shall not wait until to-morrow, nor until next day, for sixty good mule teams and twelve or fifteen wagons. I do not want to send oxen, I want good horses and mules. They are in this Territory, and we must have them; also twelve tons of flour and forty good teamsters, besides those that drive the teams. ***.

I will tell you all that your faith, religion, and profession of religion, will never save one soul of you in the celestial kingdom of our God, unless you carry out just such principles as I am now teaching you. Go and bring in those people now on the Plains, ***. The Gospel has been already preached to those brethren and sisters now on the Plains; they have believed and obeyed it, and are willing to do anything for salvation; they are doing all they can do, and the Lord has done all that is required of Him to do, and has given us power to bring them in from the Plains, and teach them the further things of the kingdom of God, and prepare them to enter into the celestial kingdom of their Father. First and foremost is to secure our own salvation and do right pertaining to ourselves, and then extend the hand of right to save others.

I have given you my text and the subject. http://www.gapages.com/here.htm

     Unthank is a hamlet a half mile northwest of Brechin, Angus, Scotland. By the time the rescuers arrived the Pucell parents were dead, leaving the two orphans Nellie (Ellen) and her sister. Pucell girls suffered badly from frostbite. It was necessary to amputate the feet and lower legs of Nellie. Poor surgical conditions necessitated the use of a butcher knife and carpenter’s saw, without the aid of anesthetic. The wounds healed poorly, and the bones protruded from the ends of the stumps. For the rest of her life, Nellie waddled on her knees in constant pain. Nellie survived to marry William Unthank, a Scot, and have 6 children, in Cedar City Utah. Nellie died about 1906, at age 69.

According to fictional sources, Angus McDuck (born 1840 Glasgow – date unknown) became a dime novel author, and road (or quacked or waddled) in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show.

The Dalton Gang raided Coffeyville to importune the bank, unfortunately the many Civil War veterans living in Coffeyville, were well armed, and well trained, and shot up the ertire gang.

• It ain’t so much a question of not knowing what to do.
• I knowed what’s right and wrong since I was ten.
• I heared a lot of stories and I reckon they are true
• About how girls’re put upon by men.
• I know I mustn’t fall into the pit,
• But when I’m with a feller,
I fergit!
• I’m just a girl who cain’t say no,
I’m in a terrible fix
• I always say “come on, let’s go!”
Jist when I orta say nix…
