In the spring of 1846, a little-known group of Latter-day Saint converts from northeastern Mississippi and northwestern Alabama set out on a remarkable journey west. Newly baptized into a young and controversial faith, these men and women left behind homes, farms, and families to follow a calling that would carry them across the American frontier.

Known as the Mississippi Company, their wagon train expected to meet other Latter-day Saint pioneers along the trail. Instead, they found themselves navigating an uncertain path through a nation in turmoil and a church forced into exile.

Drawing from journals, historical records, and years of research, this book tells the story of these southern Saints whose journey led from the cotton fields of Mississippi to winter camps in Pueblo, Colorado, and eventually into the settlements of the American West. Their experiences reveal a remarkable chapter of migration, faith, and sacrifice that helped shape the early frontier.
