Emigrant's Guide

While the Emigrant's Guide was an interesting read in terms of landmarks and routes along the Mormon Trail, I wanted more in terms of stories. I loved reading the accounts of people's experiences along the trail, and am excited in learning more. At times I felt the author glazed over key events that not all of us know about (i.e. the Willie-Martin Handcart Company), thus I am excited to talk to people and have them fill in the blanks. Can't wait to see you all on Monday!!

  1. I also wanted more of the stories. I have heard a lot of Mormon history but know little of the other emigrants history into Utah. I enjoy hearing the stories of both.
