"The historical development of Utah from 1847 to 1850 presents a theme of epic character, and one which appeals to all mankind. It was during those three short years that the Mormon pioneers found themselves a home land, established economic stability, provided for education and amusement, and established a civil form of government. During this period they met the hardships and obstacles of nature, and with a stern determination, overcame all of them... I have attempted neither to uphold or condemn any of the people of the actions of which I write, but merely, to relate the historical facts as I found them." [author]
