Growing Up in Zion: True Stories of Young Pioneers Building the Kingdom

Who can better tell of eating porcupine for dinner, or chewing on an old hawk boiled in a pot all night, than the boy hungry enough to eat such a grisly meal? In honor of the upcoming LDS Church Sesquicentennial celebration of the pioneers' arrival in the Salt Lake Valley, Susan Arrington Madsen has written this book. The book is devoted to the experiences, sacrifices,and contributions of nineteenth century Latter-day Saint children and adolescents.
