Product description: The pioneering of the West, especially the intermountain region, was an epic in American expansion. The latter half of the nineteenth century was a period when roads and trails westward became busy highways. Like other similar movements the incentives economic independence, religious liberty, and political democracy. However, the people known as Mormons, it was said, "Came West willingly because they had to." Too, the necessity of finding a place where they could worship God according to the dictates of their conscience. Jacob Hamblin is one of the most picturesque figures in the early history of the West. As a colonizer, conqueror of the desert, friendmaker with the Indians, devoted Church man he rendered superb service to the people of his day. His Indian appointment led him into fields of exploration both of the land and of the Indians which justified the title given him by a recent writer, "Apostle to the Indians." His character was admirable. His life work of unusual devotion and beauty has a large claim upon the appreciation of all who following him had built upon his work.
