Book Description
In 1856. President Brigham Young sent rescue teams to the aid of more than a thousand pioneers who were stranded in winter storms on the plains. Little did anyone know then of the need those faithful Saints would have for a Second Rescue-a spiritual rescue that would begin 135 years later. In 1987, the saints of the Riverton Wyoming Stake embarked on a sacred trek of their own, a journey filled with miracles and laden with spiritual blessings. The Second Rescue is the story of that journey. It tells of faithful people working together to provide temple blessings of the Willie and Martin handcart pioneers and for their immediate families. It chronicles their trials and triumphs in their efforts to build monuments and pave the way for others to experience the sacred sites associated with the handcart prioneers.

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.
