  While reading a book I really like, I try to think of at least one other person who might like it, too. Then I loan the book to that person. I shared the last book I read with my friend, Cindie Walker. When she returned the book to me, she shared THIS book with me. I had never heard of it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought of my own ancestors who grew up in Utah many times as I read it and wondered if they had had similar experiences as children.

  This lovely little volume is a happy companion to "Journey to Zion". Half the population of Utah in the 1800's was under the age of 18, and here are some of their stories, in their own words. It is full of the most charming pictures, historical observations, snippets and letters to the Juvenile Instructor magazine as well.

  Reading stories of the people who started the state I grew up in was absolutely enthralling! And you've gotta love the story of the girl who kissed a whole bunch of different boys. Those pioneers! Ha.

  I like the format a little better than "I Walked to Zion". I liked getting story tidbits in the margins. How can I ever complain about my work load when I have electricity, indoor plumbing and amazing appliances! Life is so comfortable for me.

  I love reading about what life was like for the early Mormon settler's in Utah. This book is a very interesting read taken from personal accounts of children growing up in the unsettled area's around Salt Lake. I recommend it if you are interested in early LDS church history.

  Love the true stories of the young pioneers who were living in Utah, telling in their own words what it was like to tame this land and make it home.
