Emigrants' Guide

I finished reading the Emigrants' Guide today after trying to read parts of it simultaneously with Mormon Thunder. That didn't work so well! But I have read the entire book now.

I found the pictures very interesting. Especially when there were "then and now" photos. I am looking forward to driving through Echo Canyon again so I can look for some of the rock formations. I guess I haven't realized the significance of the area when I have driven through it hundreds of times before. I can't wait to take my teenagers on a little drive and offer some small history lessons. They love when we do that!! he he he

My husband and I are wondering if the Heiner Canyon in the book is the same Heiner Canyon that his ancestors would hide out in when the government was out rounding up polygamists. He has relatives that are Heiners.

All in all, it was quite interesting to read and learn more about Utah's history.

See you in a couple of days!!
