I read my sister's copy of this and re-read parts of it and knew that I had to have it. It is a wonderful book that speaks to beliefs and passionate commitment and is something that is a bright example to Mormons and non-Mormons alike. I like the way they combined the factual excerpts with the author's input to make a believable and informative writing. The footnotes are very concise and tell the story of amazing courage, commitment and dedication to a cause and purpose. It also provides insight into these people and their beliefs to someone like me who had no knowledge but only just vague ideas gleaned from the bits and pieces that you hear from others. This book is one that I would recommend that everyone read. People would gain a respect for the thoughts and beliefs of others and a tolerance for them. If we could give the world such tolerance and acceptance that these people had, what a difference it would make to our world.Read full review

Gerald Lund writes an amazing book about two of the ten handcart companies. As you read the book, you feel as though you are there experiencing it right along with the characters. I love the history. It made me appreciate and love my ancestors all the more for what they went through to get to Zion. You will learn, laugh, cry, and walk away feeling a greater sense of gratitude for all you have been blessed with. Definately worth reading again and again!
I borrowed this book from a friend and liked it so much that I bought my own copy. It really let me visualize the trials and experiences of the Willie and Martin handcart companies with some historical facts weaved into the story line. I learned a lot. It helped me appreciate the efforts of my own ancestors and their hard decisions.
