Note(s)
Page 17: "President Lincoln, appreciating the wonderful ability of Dr. Ridge, not only offered him a commission but any position in his province on the Potomac if he would accept service in the army." Page 18: "In 1850 Mormons camped here on their way to Utah, while [sic] here they were taken with severe illness, smallpox and cholera being their principle troubles. The success of Dr. Ridge in relieving the Mormons, was so phenomenal, that Brigham Young offered him any position he might wish, and named an immense salary, even for these days, if he would go with them and be the physician of the Mormons, which was declined with thanks."
