I´ve just got out of the ferry so that I can cross the river and John is acting happy, maybe because the Confederates haven´t caught us yet. I´m glad that I crossed the river too but maybe one day we might be caught. Willie and his friends are taking John and me over Locust Hill, to what he says, the Garretts farm. The Garretts turned out to be kind and let John stay at there house for the night while I join the soldiers to a nearby town.
On April 30th, 1863, Cecilia Swenson set sail from Liverpool England on the John J. Boyd headed for New York Harbor. On board the ship were 767 converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly called Mormons. These saints, as they referred to themselves, were “gathering in Zion” by immigrating to Salt Lake City, Utah territory. A majority of the emigration company was Scandinavian. The Scandinavian saints had first gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark, the headquarters of the Scandinavian mission.
On April 6, 1830 in Fayette, NY Joseph F. Smith created the LDS church. The saints endured many trials moving from one place to the next including Ohio, Nauvoo, and multiple places in Missouri. After the Martyr of Joseph smith the first wagons began to leave Nauvoo. There were a total of ten wagon companies along with many other smaller groups that also made the trek for a new land of hope and promise known as Zion or the Salt Lake valley. The Mormon Pioneers opened up new exchange through the encounter with Indians and Frontiersmen and started the exploration

A Female Black Settler’s Life My master abuses me, and never allows me to be with my children. I desperately need to get away from my master. I plan to soon take my children and run to Canada. Hopefully he does not catch me as I am running away to Upper Canada.
I think similar to Charlie and Candace who have a hard time understanding one another because of their differences, that my brother and I have the same issue. Due to the way the relationship of older brothers to
Brigham Young was an interesting and perplexing character in Mormon history. A devoted follower of Joseph Smith Jr, Brigham managed to succeed him as Prophet President of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In his biography Pioneer Prophet, John G Turner proves that due to his upbringing, loyalty to Joseph, respect from the 12, and respect of the people allowed Brigham to claim the spot of Prophet in Joseph’s absence. On April 9th, 1832, Brigham Young was baptized into Joseph Smith Jr.’s Church of Christ by the hand of Ebezer Miller (Turner, 7).
My Memoir Why are there no lines? Why are there no goals? Why were the benches not moved? Just some of the things that went wrong on 9/12/15. That is the day my soccer team won 8-0 at our first home soccer game. The tensions were high and we were stressed no lines or goals.
Born in Saint-Cloud, a city on the outskirts of the Eiffel Tower’s birthplace, my culturally embellished journey began. Though life in France was brief, with the departure towards a new life in Florida at the age of eighteen months, the culture had carved a spot in my heart. Furthermore, arriving to a new country provided a new environment, and at a young age, I was able to effectively adapt to the English language and customs. Hitherto, I have no accent in comparison to the strong accents of my parents. Currently, at the age of seventeen, I speak two languages and have had the opportunity to discover what life is like in both France and America.
Mormonism: The Supposed Restoration of the True Church Mormonism is the highly controversial religious practice of the supposed restoration of the true church of the Christian God. Though the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has not been verified, it has led to Mormonism being called the “covenant of caring”, and fourteen million members giving their faith and time to their church, its beliefs and rituals, temples, and supposedly, God Himself (“Mormonism: What is Mormonism?”). Tentative History The main text of Latter-Day Saints, also commonly known as Mormons, begins with the story of Lehi. Lehi, an Israelite man, led his family to the Americas from the Middle East to escape the dangers of living there.
Relationship Analysis Personally The relationship between my sister and I has been challenging primarily due to us never being able to understand each other’s perspectives. I have never been able to understand why she makes decision that hindered her. I felt as though I failed my sister based on the decisions she made in her life.
Out of the three, I was always the good one. I always obeyed my parents ' rules and I was never rebellious. My sister is the youngest and she always got what she wanted. My parents were very lenient on my other siblings. Growing up my sister was extremely defiant and manipulative.
Life as a Native American sucks. I realized this when I was a little kid. I’ve come to accept that what other people label or describes us as are true. I’m not happy to admit this they are right. My people don’t do anything to prove these people’s claims, or better known as stereotypes, about Native Americans wrong.
A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
We argued just like any other siblings over who got the best clothes or for eating each other’s food without asking for permission. My siblings, especially my middle sister will tell me to get the TV remote even when it was only 10 feet away, make the bed every morning because she was feeling too “lazy” or help her with the house chores because learning house chores at an early age was important. Now that I introspect upon these moments, I realize that it has shaped my identity in a way that if it did not happen I would not be as responsible and mature as I am today. However, the memories that I shared with my siblings also created a void in my heart to have a younger sibling- a brother or sister did not matter to me. All I knew was that I did not want to accept that I was the youngest of three sisters and one brother.
