Miraculous Provision of Water in the Prairie

During a stretch of the march through a dry prairie where the camp suffered from extreme thirst and a lack of water, Woodruff documented a miraculous event. A member of the camp took a spade and dug a small hole in the parched ground. To the amazement of the brethren, the hole quickly filled with clear, good water. Woodruff explicitly compared this event to the biblical miracle of Moses bringing water out of a rock for the Israelites.
