"This article moves beyond the traditional narratives of the exodus west or the story of the Mormon Battalion. Many excellent historians have contributed valuable insights to our current understanding of these topics. Normally, more attention has been paid to the men of the battalion and those in the Saints’ encampments in Iowa. While the efforts of the men should not be ignored nor demeaned, equal consideration should be given to the women’s stories. Women’s voices can be faint and are often hidden, yet, this faintness should not be mistaken for lack of importance. This article seeks to expand the voice of the women who traveled with the battalion and highlights the voices of those women who remained behind. In each group, the narrative of action and Zion building weave together to create a picture of the realities of life for the women who were connected to the battalion and the larger challenges facing the Saints as they sought to fulfill their covenant made in the assembly hall of the Nauvoo Temple."
