The ideal companion for Church history tours to Iowa and Nebraska
The culmination of more than twenty-five years of research and study, Sacred Places brings Church history to life for students, scholars, and early days of the Restoration. Iowa and Nebraska, the fifth volume in the series, takes readers to important locations such as Montrose, Garden Grove, Mt. Pisgah, Winter Quarters, Fort Kearney, Chimney Rock, and Scotts Bluff. The useful reference work will help Church members discover the sites, stories, and people that marked the Church’s fascinating early days.
