Pioneers of 1847

The Pioneers of 1847, Volume 9, recounts the experiences of the initial company of Mormon pioneers who journeyed westward to establish a new home in the Salt Lake Valley. Written by Andrew Jenson, this historical account details the arduous journey, the challenges faced, and the unwavering faith that sustained these early settlers.

This volume offers a detailed look into the lives of the men, women, and children who braved the American frontier in search of religious freedom and a place to build their Zion. It documents their daily struggles, their interactions with Native American tribes, and the establishment of their first settlements. A valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American West, the Mormon Church, and the pioneer spirit.
