Believing that Native Americans descended from the Lamanites, an ancient civilization in the Book of Mormon, church leaders dispatched missionaries to Indian Territory in the mid-1800s. The missionaries struggled through decades of hostility, bitter hardship, and loneliness, traveling thousands of miles on foot and horseback to proselytize both Native Americans and white settlers. With painstaking dedication, perseverance, and sacrifice spanning generations, the missionaries plowed the rocky ground of Indian Territory and eventually nurtured a vibrant Mormon Church in present-day Oklahoma. This story will inspire anyone struggling to nurture a dream against the odds. "What a great resource! Dastrup masterfully captures the trials, drama, sacrifice, and triumph of missionary work in early Indian Territory and Oklahoma." —Chris Jefferies, Ph.D. and author of Zion's Promise "In a word, the book is excellent!" —Gary S. Poppleton "This is an important work expanding the history of the Mormon Church." —Richard C. Roberts, professor of history emeritus, Weber State University
