Pioneer stories are really the heart of what we will be experiencing at TREK. These stories teach beautiful gospel principles that our youth need in their lives. As you become familiar with these pioneer stories it will have a great impact on your life. We want the youth to hear these stories a few times before we go to Wyoming. They will have a greater sense of what happened at the places we will visit and they will feel things deeper. We invite you to start becoming familiar with the stories below and helping the youth in your ward learn them as well.

The 2 books below are phenomenal! Tell my story too shares individual stories from the handcart and wagon companies that crossed the plains. The price we paid is a comprehensive look at the Martin and Willie handcart companies from Europe into the Salt Lake Valley. We will be visiting many of the Martin and Willie handcart sites on Trek.
