These pictures are from the book Westward America by Howard W. Driggs with water colors by William H. Jackson. The publisher is American Pioneer Trail Association. The author, painter are both deceased and the publisher no longer exists. I attempted to contact family for permission to publish the illustrations but was unsuccessful. Each of these pictures plays a part in young Isaac's trek across the plains.
Topics that interest me include, California Mormon history, Mormon Handcart history, WWII history, Civil War history
