I know how much you all liked my last post on this topic, so I thought I'd make another one.
I finished volume 3 of B.H. Roberts' A Comprehensive History of the Church. I enjoyed it, like the first and second volumes. This volume covered:
- the group of saints that sailed to California from new England
- the leaving of Nauvoo and travel to council bluffs
- the Mormon battalion
- missions to England and other parts of the world
- the founding of winter quarters
- Brigham Young's party that traveled first to the great basin
- More pioneer groups traveling to Salt Lake
- The crickets and seagulls
- The California gold rush (and it's relation to members of the church)
- the "state" of Deseret
- the "run-away officers" appointed by the federal government over the territory of Utah
- the establishment of the perpetual emigration fund
It was very interesting and contained a lot of information that I didn't know before. Has anyone else read anything interesting in the past few weeks?

I have read all kinds of nursing theory books, but that would probably be even less interesting to everyone than church history!
I think it sounds interesting Mike! I'm excited to read it.
Jacob has me readding "Founding Mothers" by Cokie Roberts. It's fascinating to see how the women contributed to the Revolution.
