Saints on the Seas: A Maritime History of Mormon Migration, 1830-1890 (University of Utah Publications in the American West ; V. 17)
No Customer Reviews
The maritime tradition is particularly important to the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- the Mormons. Although fewer than 700 Mormon missionaries traveled to foreign lands to proselytize during the nineteenth century, their energetic activities garnered some 85,000 converts, most of whom emigrated to America. In this fascinating narrative Sonne details the long and often dangerous voyages required of the emigrants to reach American soil, where they began their overland trek to help build the "Kingdom of Zion" in the West.
