Major Howard Egan rode in the original 1847 pioneer company that opened the trail to the Salt Lake Valley. This volume preserves his day-by-day trail diary alongside his son Howard R. Egan's vivid recollections of frontier life—grasshopper plagues, Pony Express rides, the Overland Mail, blazing the Egan Trail across the desert, and decades among the Goshute and Shoshone. A rare eyewitness record of Latter-day Saint pioneering, written plainly and 'without embellishment,' now reissued from the 1917 family edition.
- A genuine day-by-day diary from a man who walked in the original 1847 pioneer company
- Contains Brigham Young's fiery trail sermon reproduced from William Clayton's record
- Firsthand Pony Express and Overland Mail adventures by the man who blazed the Egan Trail
- Rare, respectful eyewitness accounts of Goshute and Shoshone survival customs
Perfect for an LDS reader, Egan-family descendant, or western-history buff who wants a genuine eyewitness account of the 1847 pioneer trail, the Pony Express, and early Great Basin frontier life.
