Book Excerpt: 
. . .We arrived at Father Chase's between four and five o'clock. Diantha was very glad to see me and burst into tears. My little boy is far beyond all my expectations. He is very fat and well formed and has a noble countenance. They are both well and I feel to thank my heavenly Father for his mercies to them and Father Chase and to his family and may the Lord bless them for it, and oh Lord, bless my family and preserve them forever. Bless my Diantha and my boy and preserve their lives on the earth to bring honor to Thy name and give us a prosperous journey back again is the prayer of thy servant William. Amen. At night we had a heavy thunder storm. It rained very heavily.

Monday, June 29

The morning is cool and cloudy, the ground very wet. Brother Bickford is gone to Nauvoo. Left Father Chase's company about 10:30 a.m. They kindly furnished us with bread stuffs sufficient to last us to camp. We arrived at Mt. Pisgah and stayed near Father Huntington's.

Some of the notes are disturbing and seem to be biased against the church, but overall the book was very interesting.

Reading about your great-great-grandfather is GREAT!!!

i love the first-hand account of clayton as he deals with the everyday of crossing the plains. i love his tender words regarding his wives and his human frustrations at the shortcomings of all involved in the trek. i love that both chris's and my great great grandfathers were together on this trek a
