Publisher's announcement laid in. Very Good. Gathering in Harmony presents the story of Mormonism from the earliest days in Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa to the trek across the plains to Utah. Far more than a family history, the book deftly recreates the forces that influenced the common people who undertook this journey and the way in which they themselves helped to shape events. This book won the Evans Handcart Award and the Thomas Rice King Award from the Mormon History Association.
