Thoughts about Emigrant's Guide

I thought that this book was very informative. It got me way excited for the trail and the expected sites to see. I didn't have any real in-depth comments or questions arise as I read. However, one thing that I found interesting and stood out to me, was the history behind Fort Bridger. I was surprised how it was acquired by the Mormon settlers and how they burned a large part of it down when the US troops began to come in. I was kind of shocked by their reaction to the situation. So I think that the reading of JMG has helped fill in some of my questions regarding that time, and the views the Mormon settlers had towards the US government.
