As the United States was in the throes of westward migration fever in the mid-19th century, another group of pioneers made their way west for the purpose of establishing a new Zion on Earth: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. After facing years of prejudice and the martyrdom of their leader Joseph Smith Jr., the Saints struck out to the Salt Lake Valley, away from the reach of the federal government. Their method of transportation was also unique; wooden handcarts. They faced harsh conditions, disease, and accidents just as those trekking on the Oregon Trail. Hear some of their stories on the God-given mission to build a new home for their faith.
