Chariots of Hope: And should we die before our journey's through...

By Darvil McBride, Bruce L. McBride, Bruce McBride

Chariots of Hope is the inspiring story of the McBride family, members of the ill fated Martin Handcart Company, who were caught in the Rocky Mountains by early winter conditions in 1856 while trying to emigrate to Salt Lake City, Utah from the British Isles. Based on true events, this inspiring historical novel follows Robert and Margaret McBride and their five young children in their incredible journey with 568 other hearty souls. After crossing the Atlantic by ship and the Eastern United States by train, they walked 500 miles from Iowa City to the Salt Lake Valley pulling their meager possessions in handcarts most of the way.Lovingly written by two grandsons of Peter McBride, who was six years old at the time of the trek, the authors capture the joy, humor, struggle, fear, faith, hope and triumph of these undaunted pioneers, compelled by their faith to make this perilous journey.
