In their journey to Zion, the pioneers overcame the disheartening effects of exhaustion, the despair of unrelenting hardship, and bitterness of inescapable cold. And ever-present was the burden to push, to pull, to carry or to coax those little ones they loved. But they pressed forward, even to the point of death, inspired by the prospect of Zion and strengthened by the promise of salvation.
