Pioneer Day in Utah

I have almost all Utah Mormon ancestors except for a few hardy miners coming this way to find gold in California. Every area of the world has its early pioneers who settled the land and raised families. They had many physical challenges just to survive, grow crops and make irrigation canals. Traveling then and now was so different. Here's a link to some info on St. George pioneers. Tell us about pioneers in your area.

  3. Your quest is an amazing odyssey.

    The pioneers in CT wandered south from Mass Bay Colony. My ancestors were among them. We're still trying to warm up and loosen up!
