Wow!!! First off I knew Brigham Young was sick, but I assumed it was his arthritis.
Fanny was my favorite story. I can’t imagine seeing your own grave and being half sown up!!
Oh, and the sweeeeet story about how the Swedish family worked so hard and were worried their dad was kidnapped like the other woman. Shoot. Talk about walking in their shoes. Being so swollen you have to walk barefoot through the rest of the journey just sounds horrible. Great stories!!
this podcast episode was very good
