QUOTE OF THE DAY Wilford Woodruff |
|
“Every man should write a brief history of his life: his parentage, his birth, his religion, when he was baptized and by whom, when ordained, what to, and by whom—give a brief sketch of all his missions and of all his official acts and the dealings of God with him. Then if he were to die and the historians wished to publish his history, they would have something to go by. Many may think this a dry subject and unimportant, but it is not so to me” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff, p. 129).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY July 19, 2021 |

1847 - From the top of Big Mountain, Orson Pratt and John Brown become the first Latter-day Saint Pioneers to see the valley of the Great Salt Lake in the distance. They had ridden ahead of their camp and climbed up the high mountain to see what lay ahead. They saw the first stretch of flat prairie they had seen since entering the mountain country.

I Walked to Zion
What did pioneer children do for fun? What did they fear as they crossed the plains? Susan Arrington Madsen, author of The Lord Needed a Prophet, has collected actual accounts of thirty young people (under the age of twenty) who were members of Mormon wagon trains and handcart companies. B.H. Roberts describes how he and his sister traveled from England as virtual orphans until they joined their mother in Utah. Fanny Fry tells of her fear when she was nearly crushed to death by a heavily loaded handcart.
