Journey West, The: The Pioneer Journals of Horace K. Whitney with Insights from Helen Mar Kimball Whitney, Bennett (in-store date 25th June 2018)

How did a young newlywed couple experience the Mormon pioneer trek west? Read the first combined husband-and-wife account of the pioneer trek in The Journey West. The six unpublished journals rank among the great Mormon exodus journals.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. One of Helen’s greatest contributions was to share a woman’s perspective and complement her husband’s perspectives in so many faith-building ways. The book has been richly annotated to provide historical context. This is a remarkable story, with few parallels in the history of the Church, of a young newlywed couple heading west with the exodus. It’s a faith-building story of triumph over trials.
