(B. H. Roberts) Young Roberts worked for Centerville farmers, made bricks for construction of the Salt Lake ZCMI, and drove an ox-team grader for the Utah Central Railway. At fourteen, he prospected in the Utah mining districts of Ophir, Jacob City, and Metcur. His evenings were spent in gambling houses, where he "manipulated the jack of hearts and spades; learned to drink his coffee black and his liquor straight; learned to bet and bluff and cajole." (3)

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] Gen Nagle had spent 2 years in France & Jermany in order to learn the best process of manufacturing wine & Brandy. He had introduced the best grapes & Esstablished the best distilary in the State. He made 100,000 gallons of wine & 20,000 gallons of Brandy Each year. His brandy was as Clear as Cristol. No Coulering whatever in it. He did not sell his brandy but put it up into 1,000 gallon Casks untill it was 5 or 6 years old & had aged. Then He said this Generation should for once have the privilege of buying a pure article. It took 5 gallons of wine to make 1 gallon of Brandy. He paid $20 a ton for the Mission Grape & $30 for the grapes He had imported. We went all through his grounds & dined with him & when I left him He shook me by the hand & said God Bless you.... (2)
