Pioneer Ancestor Tales "From Conversion to Zion" Douglas W Banks

These tales of our ancestors' journey to Zion is a history of faith, perseverance, human suffering, and celebration. Traveling to a new country, tempests threatened their ships at sea. Crossing the plains, it was an enormous challenge to keep the wagons working and livestock moving while crossing rough terrain and enduring stormy weather, not to mention the limited rations and physical fatigue, births, illnesses, and deaths. This book includes accounts of miracles and acts of compassion. This book also includes burials at sea and on the plains, suicides, cholera outbreaks, persecutions, wagon accidents, harassment by military, kindness of Indians, and other adventures.
