They experienced lots of hardship but, were usually more fortunenate than others. Some at least were more lucky! They were blessed because they followed the lord and did what he asked even when is was really hard.

There were the Rocky Mountains to cross, wild animals, exhaustion (many walked the whole distance), warmth was an issue for several groups that had people freeze to death, crossing rivers, medical care (and giving birth while in a wagon), hunting, and one we might not think of now days: having a pair of shoes.

Walk the dirt and rocky path next to the highway for 2000 miles, cross every river you get to, and you are only allowed to carry a backpack full of what you "need". Do that and you will know how difficult it was.

Pretty rugged. It is similar to what we call today 'camping out'.

  • They ate food cooked over camp fires.
  • They watered and fed the horses.
  • They hitched the horses to the covered wagons.
  • Then they walked or rode on the wagons.
  • At the end of the day they unhitched the horses.
  • They watered and fed the horses.
  • Made a camp fire and ate whatever they cooked.
  • In the evening they would have camp/wagon train meetings.
  • Sometimes dance or sing.
  • Sleep in or under their wagons.
  • Fix and or repair wagons and harnesses.

How do ordinary Americans relate to Mormons?

Well Mormons are very much like the average American. The differences that would separate them are the standards to which Mormons live. An active and rule following Mormon will not have sex before marriage, drink alcohol or coffee, smoke, use drugs, watch 'R' rated movies, or view porn. Mormons live life just like other people: some like football some don't, some like classical music some like rock. They are regular people who are just trying to be the best people they can be.


Why are Mormons more concerned about image than about being Christ like?

While it is true that some Mormons are more concerned about image, you will find this with any religion. The teachings of the LDS (Mormon) church teach that you should not be concerned about image but be Christ like and live as Christ would want us to live. There are many Mormons who follow this and try to live Christ like lives and would not care about how the world sees them.
