Cholera was the most common and deadly illness for those traveling West in the 1800's. Rushton discusses cholera's pathology, history, factors that influenced its spread, the occurrence of epidemics, and the impact it had on the migration trails of the time. She gives details on the symptoms and effects of the disease, such as severe dehydration which was deadly to the very young and very old. Cholera epidemics in America were caused by: poor sanitation, significant population movement, and flooding. The first reference to cholera among the Latter-day Saints was during Zion's Camp in 1834, and Joseph Smith called it a punishment from God. However, the Saints later looked at it as a trial to be overcome.
