The Way West – 1847
This is my great grandfather’s blog. On April 7, 1847, he left Winter Quarters, NB in the first company that was led west by Brigham Young. Inspired destination was the “tops of the mountains” after years of religious persecution. Hope was that they would be left alone there to worship God as they pleased. Writings lack in elaboration due to time/writing problems. I will be writing down his diary verbatim as he wrote it plus adding synopsis if needed.
He would LOVE to have your comments!!
