I
just dropped off my 16-year-old pioneer. Except for the burgundy
tennis shoes he looked like he might have stepped right out of the
19th century. I waved as he shouldered his burlap gunny sack and
headed off to meet his "family" for the next three days
of pulling a handcart through the Utah rockies. I wonder what his
4th-great grandparents -- the ones who actually survived crossing
half the US on foot -- would think.
It's
trek season and Latter-day Saint youth around the world are re-enacting
the remarkable experiences of the 1856 handcart pioneers.
Andrew D. Olsen, author of "The Price We Paid, the Extraordinary
Story of the Willie & Martin handcart Pioneers," shares
the stories and people of these best-known handcart companies in
the most in-depth and complete retelling of their incredible saga
ever published.
That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull...
