FAMILY HISTORY DRAMA : Unbelievable True Stories

The Journey from Nebraska to the Territory of Deseret was an adventurously long one. And in the early days of settling the Wild West, there was never a destination. The only place you could permanently call home was your final resting place. From Conestogas to Cavalry, from rivers to mountains, from Chiefs to Governors, from freezing winters to striking summers, from Sasquatch attacks to buried Mummies, from hidden treasure to Egyptian hieroglyphs, and from settling the Sanpete area to sipping sop with snakes. You wont want to miss this tale. Too true to be believed.

Transcript

Even with my limited means, at 32, and out of necessity, I became pretty decent at building covered wagons. One time I found a linch pin and thought out loud to myself “I’ll just make a wagon to fit that pin.” (Chuckling to self) And so it was with my two homemade wagons, two yoke of oxen, three yoke of cows, a box of live chickens, a pregnant wife and two children (ages 5 & 3), with bedding and food, the Mrs. And I....oh excuse me, I haven’t introduced myself yet...(clear throat)
