"Read the first combined husband-and-wife account of the pioneer trek in The Journey West. The seven unpublished journals rank among the great Mormon exodus journals. They were written by Horace K. Whitney, son of Newel K. and Elizabeth Whitney, with reminiscences and insights from Helen Mar Kimball, daughter of Heber C. and Vilate Kimball.

It's a faith-building story of triumph over trials."--Provided by publisher.
