The last in the Work and the Glory series, this provides the conclusion to the Steed family. We find out if all the family was able to make it to Salt Lake City, be it by boat, handcart, wagon, or walking. A fine conclusion that leaves you wanting to read more about the family and how they fared in the valley.
