While looking for something else, I found a thesis written on the history of the Southern States Mission by Heather M. Seferovich (Brigham Young University, August 1996). It is of minor interest to anyone not extremely interested in the topic, but if you would like to read it, you can find it here. Click on "Printing Version" at the bottom for a download of the entire file.
Pages 60 through 95 discuss the conditions suffered by missionaries at the time including fleas and ticks, malaria, having to walk long distances, and traveling without purse or scrip.
