Before Zion : An Account of the 7th Handcart Company

"This is an account of the 7th Handcart Company, the 1857 experience of recent Scandinavian converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a remarkable story, albeit not so well known as the accounts of the Willie and Martin companies. Part of that lies in the fact that there is a paucity of written documentation on their journey, at least documentation readily available to the public domain. Where accounts of their conversion, ocean passage, and handcart journey were written in detail, it initially was done, in all likelihood, in a Scandinavian language." [Author]
