I Walked to Zion: True Stories of Young Pioneers on the Mormon Trail
by Susan Arrington Madsen Author
I Walked to Zion: True Stories of Young Pioneers on the Mormon Trail contains the accounts of thirty young pioneers, all but one told in their own words. These young people describe what it was like to cross the ocean, the plains, and the mountains to reach the Salt Lake Valley. Some were without parents, some suffered from lack of food, some saw their friends and family members die, some showed great courage, some helped others through trials on the way. All of them demonstrated the faith and determination to follow their dream of joining their fellow Saints in Zion.
