The Mormon Trail: Voyage of Discovery The Story Behind the Scenery

By Stanley B. and Violet T. Kimball Photography by Gary Ladd

Where was the Mormon Trail? How did it differ from the Immigration and Oregon Trail? Stanley Kimball and his wife, Violet, are the perfect couple to explain these differences. Add to the mix, the photographer, Gary Ladd, and we know with an investment of time, all will be made clear. Flowers, insects, fields, and forests, lakes, prairies with prairie dogs, and rocks covered with names carved deep into their surface–all are exquisitely pictured and described within the pages of this book. This is a book you can pursue on a daily basis over the course of a long time, until its scenes become a part of your being, and you begin to know what it must be like to be there–in a time that no longer exists.
