Standing on the Promises 2 - Bound for Canaan

From the challenges of colonization and the lure of the gold rush to the Emancipation Proclamation and the poverty and prejudice of life in Zion, Bound for Canaan, the second volume in the award-winning Standing on the Promises trilogy, traces the extraordinary lives of several prominent black Mormon pioneers from 1838 to 1891. Rooted in historical fact and brought to life by the authors' exhaustive research and engaging writing, this gripping account continues the unforgettable story of black Latter-day Saints who stood on the promises of God through plain and prairie, grief and gladness, fetters and freedom.
