The faith of our pioneer fathers

the long version

"The world has never produced a better group of men than the pioneers of Utah, and no other group of men have done better pioneering...Those pioneers had in their hearts the love of God, a reverence for the constitution of the United States, and a passion for freedom...Running through the center of their lives was a deep religious current, which gave direction to all they did...To make this faith live and grow in our hearts and in the hearts of our children is the object of this book." Bryant S. Hinckley
