Before Our Journey's Through

About the Book

Could you travel on foot from Illinois to Wyoming through conditions like: 4 feet of mud, fever, dusty trails, lack of water and snow in the Rocky Mountains–all because your neighbors wanted you dead?

Would you be able to endure racist or bigoted remarks about you, as well as outright attacks that put your life in jeopardy and forbade your culture?

How would you react to a legal system that not only kept you from voting, but made you the property of someone else?

1847 was a particularly bad year for Mormons, Indians and Women. This book is about all three.
