Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast where we make all our bookclub meetings and bonus events availble for listeners and viewers to enjoy. On today's epiosde we discuss the book "Devil's Gate: Brigham Young and the Great Mormon Handcart Tragedy" by David Roberts. The book recounts the tragedy of the Willey and Martin handcart companies. In 1856, 220 Mormon pioneers traveling west to Utah, pushing and pulling their belongings in handcarts, died of malnutrition and hypothermia. Roberts draws on contemporary letters and diaries to re-create the drama and suffering, as well as delving into the church's LDS church's role in the events.This was very heartbreaking to read, but also very important to understand in it's scope within a broader context of the LDS church. This bookclub meeting was orginally held on Sunday, March 10th, 2024
