This was a very interesting book and I really enjoyed the in-depth history about the Mormons settling in Utah. There were a lot of things I didn't know and a lot of things that really amazed me, especially regarding Bringham Young and way he treated his people. Many things that you don't hear about from the mainstream Mormon Trail history. You could tell that the author was very against the Mormons which sometimes made it difficult for me to distinguish the facts from from her somewhat bitter opinion. But all in all, I really liked it. I like reading about this time period.
