Good account of the Mormon Trail from out of Nauvoo in 1846 through the Handcart painfulness of 1857 and almost to the Railroad era. He does use some questionable sources but mostly it is well written and tries to be somewhat unbiased.

Bookwomble "Tries to be unbiased" seems a dubious accolade ? 6mo

Starting one of Stegner‘s histories I have never read. I mostly like his writing.
