Handcarts to Zion: The Story of a Unique Western Migration, 1856-1860 by LeRoy Reuben Hafen, Leroy R. Hafen, Ann W. Hafen
3.0

This is a very thorough and exhaustive narrative of the Mormon handcart companies that walked across the plains. Although I have heard these stories my entire life, I now have a much fuller understanding and appreciation for those that participated in the handcart migration.

This book is not an easy read, but those interested in the subject will find a deeper understanding of this period of time.
