The Emigrants Guide

I just finished reading the book. I can't believe how many things I never really knew about the history of Utah...Being the great granddaughter of pioneers and a lover of history, I always thought I was pretty knowledgeable about state and pioneer history. Boy was I wrong. I hope I haven't let some poor kid astray in my teaching.. I just can't imagine having to wake up every day to another really awful day on the trail. These saints must have had such strentgh and faith. I had to sleep in my car, on an air mattress for two hours and thought I'd go nuts. No wonder it ws my ancestors who came across and not me.. Two weeks isn't long enough to be ready.
