Now that the holiday season is over we want to thank all of those who came out to our book signings. We really had a good time. We travelled to bookstores in Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Boise, and Meridian, Idaho and Logan, Salt Lake City, Sandy, West Jordan, Provo, and Orem, and other places in Utah, and we were treated very kindly wherever we went.

It was great fun talking to people about their own pioneer heritage. Many were able to find their ancestors listed on the roster in the back of The Remarkable Journey of the Mormon Battalion. We heard some wonderful stories of famous and not so well known pioneers alike that have been passed down from generation to generation. All in all, we were amazed at how connected all of us are. We’re glad these two books could be realized and we hope they bring great joy to everyone who got them as gifts—even if they gave them to themselves.
