This little-known expedition, led by Parley P. Pratt, thus had a large impact on Utah history. It was also a dramatic and adventurous journey. The journals of the expedition - published complete in Over the Rim for the first time - record the feat of an unusual party of righteous frontiersmen who, challenged by harsh weather and difficult terrain, opened a way for Mormon expansion toward the Pacific coast and along the way documented much about both their new homeland and the native Utes and Paiutes their people would displace.--BOOK JACKET.

PREFACE
Among many who helped, one man is chiefly responsible for this book. He isor wasWilliam Henrie. A desire to know better this great-great-grandfather led to examination of the journals kept on the Southern Exploring Expedition of 18491850, of which he was a member. Henrie left no account of that adventure, but perhaps journals kept by others would tell something about him? They do, but not much. He is mentioned four times. The roster of the expedition lists him as a member of the Fourth Ten. The list of contributors to meet expenses tells us he gave five dollars. Isaac Haight's journal reports that on January 3, at the present site of Parowan, "camp met at 7 ocl p.m. Singing Prayer by Br Henry." And on March 17, in the south end of Juab Valley, two weeks from home, Robert Campbell's journal records, "fa Henry leaves his weak ox with the Indians, gives it to them."
