Finished this one tonight. Every member of the LDS church has heard the stories of the handcart pioneers out of the plains, but I really enjoyed this collection and history. The paintings added a lot. I liked that inside the fly leaf were the names of every single person in the Willie and the Martin companies, along with a star for those who died.

My only (small) complaints are that the reenactment pictures (there were only a few) were a little odd in with the rest of the stories, and that the format was a little hard to follow. But the content made up for it. So good and so moving.
