"A comprehensive history of the wagon road from Salt Lake to Southern California is long overdue, and The Overland Journey from Utah to California more than fills the bill. Edward Leo Lyman uses long-ignored newspaper accounts and forgotten voices taken from emigrant journals and memoirs (some of them previously unknown) to tell a forgotten epic. He's fashioned a masterwork that buffs will love and scholars can appreciate for its insights and observations." - Will Bagley, author of Blood of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows"
