Book Synopsis
It is unparalleled in history, the procession of Latter-Day Saints pushing handcarts from Iowa City and Florence (Omaha) to their promised Zion by the Great Salt Lake. The migration is described in Handcarts to Zion, which draws on diaries and reports of the participants, rosters of the ten companies, and a collection of the songs sung on the trail.

Trade Review
"[The Hafens] have burnished their scholarly work with a glowing, illuminated prose that is a joy and a delight. The combination makes this one of the finest, most readable source works this reviewer has ever seen."—W. H. Hutchinson, San Francisco Chronicle
"This book illustrates the importance of faith/hope/attitude, call it what you will, with such startling clarity, readers might redefine aspects of their own lives before they even finish reading."—Wyoming Rural Electric News
