Bennion discusses the life of her grandmother Lucile Cannon Bennion. Her grandmother painted adventurers--illuminated maps of explorers of new lands, including Abraham, the Vikings, Columbus, and trappers and fur traders. His Bennion progenitors experienced the pull of Manifest Destiny as a religious mission. They felt that God had called them to settle the area around the Great Salt Lake.
