Rescue of the 1856 Handcart Companies   Rebecca Cornwall and Leonard Arrington
Read this monograph as background research for the MABF diaries I’m working on. Emphasizes the “heroic” efforts of the rescuers of the stranded Willie and Martin handcart companies at Devil’s Gate in Wyoming. A little too slim, but an adequate introduction to an interesting and revealing moment in Mormon history.
