The Gathering: Mormon Pioneers on the Trail to Zion

About this book

Told in anecdote and journal entry complemented by the superb photography we have come to expect from the Proctors this book follows intimately the human journey of the pioneers out of England from Nauvoo across muddy Iowa to Winter Quarters and then along the wilderness trail to Zion. In vivid detail the reader is taken to unmarked graves of those who sacrificed their all for the gospel to the rescue site of Willie and Martin handcart companies to the cholera-laden ships that sailed from Liverpool bearing hopeful emigrants. There is no story of sacrifice and faith quite like it an epic journey that will be etched on the soul of the reader.
