Villages on Wheels: A Social History of the Gathering to Zion

By Stanley B. Kimball and Violet Kimball “A riveting compilation for any reader looking to discover this monumental and defining experience in Mormon history through the accounts of the common people who lived it.” — BYU Studies Quarterly “There is warmth and affection for those whose stories are recounted here, as well as an honest understanding of their flaws.” — Times & Seasons “There is ... much to be learned from this work.” — Association for Mormon Letters   Available in ebook for Kindle, Nook, Apple, Google Play, and Kobo. Also available through Amazon. Book Description: The enduring saga of Mormonism is its great trek across the plains, and understanding that trek was the life work of Stanley B. Kimball, master of Mormon trails. This final work, a collaboration he began and which was completed after his death in 2003 by his photographer-writer wife, Violet, explores that movement westward as a social history, with the Mormons moving as “villages on wheels.”
