Book 3

The Journey

June – August 1856

When I saw Brother [Edmund] Ellsworth come into this city covered with dust and drawing a handcart, I felt that he had gained greater honor than the riches of this world could bestow. . . . The honor any man can obtain by his faithfulness in this cause and kingdom is worth far more than all the honors and riches of the world.

—Wilford Woodruff, address given in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, 6 October 1856
