Bring Them to Zion: The 1856 Handcart Emigration Organization, Leadership, and Issues offers a deeply researched and meticulously documented account of one of the most ambitious and controversial episodes in Latter-day Saint pioneer history. Drawing on original sources and archival materials, the authors reconstruct the organizational challenges and decision-making processes that led to the infamous 1856 handcart migration. This emigration effort, driven by faith and constrained by logistics, sought to bring impoverished European converts across the American plains with minimal resources-relying on handcarts instead of ox-drawn wagons. The book details how unforeseen weather, financial limitations, logistical miscalculations, and divided leadership all coalesced into tragedy for many participants.
Going beyond recounting events, Bring Them to Zion examines the motivations, planning, and execution behind the handcart experiment; explores the differences and cooperation between Church leaders in Utah, Europe, and the eastern United States; and investigates the internal politics and systemic missteps that affected thousands of emigrants. The narrative sheds new light on Brigham Young's vision, the administrative roles of Franklin D. Richards and other key figures, and the broader context of mid-nineteenth-century transatlantic and frontier migration. This work is essential reading for anyone interested in Mormon history, American religious movements, or the broader story of westward expansion.
