From the Preface- "The journey to Utah was a perilous one. They traveled over uncharted roads, forded streams, climbed mountains, suffered hunger, sickness and death. They emigrated to a wilderness area. They came to North Ogden, hoping to find a place to rest, where they would not be molested on account of their religion."
