Notes
"This painting represents some of the sacrifices made by the pioneers. They gave up many of their treasures and comforts and endured hardships and challenges for greater rewards and blessings in Zion. Among the unknowns were the Native Americans they would encounter and live among. Each group was a peculiar people to the other and the world. The early pioneers believed these new friends to be a remnant of the house of Israel, described in the pages of the Book of Mormon they brought with them."
