(C)   To gather the Saints living in the Southern States to Utah

From the life of Abraham Owen Smoot:   His last mission after the martyrdom of the Prophet was to gather up the Saints of the Southern States for the journey to the mountains. In the exodus he led a company to Winter Quarters and was the captain of one of the pioneer companies in the journey to the valley of the Great Salt Lake.
