Beginning with their expulsion from Nauvoo in 1846 and for the succeeding ­twenty-­two years, the migration of 70,000 Mormon ­pioneers ­was a compelling saga of the settlement of the American West. Mostly poor, they traveled on ships, canal boats, trains, and riverboats, and then came on foot, in wagon trains and in handcart companies. Their story is told by two archivists with the LDS Church History Department in this beautiful book, filled with fascinating photographs.
