Book Description
I have always wanted to be a mountain man, explorer, or a pioneer. The hand of the Lord has been present in guiding me and my family to Riverton, Wyoming. During our first year in Riverton, we became involved in a pioneer handcart tragedy. In 1856, over two hundred members of the Willie and Martin handcart companies died in Wyoming due to early snowstorms. I was to become closely involved with these handcart pioneers with results exceeding my wildest imagination. I visited Rock Creek Hollow and Martin's Cove dozens of times. Each of these sites marks the graves of men, women, and children who were looking for freedom but perished in a Wyoming blizzard. I helped research who these people were, where they came from, and about the Americans that rescued the survivors. The spirit of these pioneers would consume my thoughts, talents, and abilities for several years to come. In Memoirs of a Rescuer on the Second Rescue of the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies, I relate my personal experiences in designing and constructing several monuments to their heroic pursuit. I also became directly involved in performing over four thousand temple ordinances for these pioneers and their rescuers. The Trek Movement, which is being felt throughout the world, had its beginning in Riverton, Wyoming. I am proud to have helped in a small part.

Book Description
""My Best for the Kingdom provides a valuable history of several little-known events in early Mormon history--the Church in Tennessee and Kentucky in the 1830s, the Danites in Missouri, Mormon resistance to Missouri persecutions, ... the James Emmett expedition, [and] pioneer Spanish Fork, Utah...John L. Butler's autobiography, given here in full, rivals and adds to the accounts of Hosea Stout and John D. Lee in telling the Mormon story of the 1830s, '40s, and '50s. Butler was a valiant militiaman, missionary, frontiersman, and bishop. A fast-moving, informative, well-researched and well-told account of Mormonism on the frontier...and pioneer Utah.""--Leonard J. Arrington quoted on the back outside jacket.

Book Description
For visitors to the Martin's Cove historic site in Wyoming, Patience Loader has become an icon of the disastrous winter entrapment of the Martin and Willie handcart companies. Her record of those events is important, but there is much else of interest in her autobiography. In fact, it is a bit unusual that someone such as her would have left such an engaging record of her life. The daughter of an English gardener, Patience Loader became a boarding house servant, domestic maid, and seamstress. Converted to Mormonism, she shipped with her parents to America. They joined the ill-fated Martin company, which because of poor planning and a late start west, was caught poorly prepared by severe high plains snowstorms in October and November 1856. The combined fatalities of the Martin and Willie companies made this the worst disaster in the history of overland travel. Patience = s father was one of those who died. After reaching Utah, Patience took the unusual step for a Mormon of marrying a soldier, John Rozsa, stationed at Camp Floyd. The troops there had made up the Utah Expedition, sent to ensure federal authority over the Mormons. Rozsa was a Hungarian immigrant and Mormon convert. When the Utah troops were recalled for the Civil War, Patience accompanied her husband, as an army laundress, to Washington, D.C., running a boarding house while Rozsa fought. After the war, he died at Fort Leavenworth of consumption, and Patience returned alone to Utah, where she became a cook at a mining camp in American Fork Canyon. Her autobiography ends there in 1872, though she lived till 1922.
