This book focuses on the principles that granted success to the pioneers as they traveled by handcart or ox team to the Great Basin of North America and settled the lands there. It attempts to “dissect the pioneer achievements and to discover one by one the causes, which acting together, made ‘the desert blossom as the rose,’” as stated by the author. The book encourages these pioneer principles of faith, education, cooperation, and industry to be applied universally.
