Episode Synopsis

Just when we needed it most, Tiffany McLaws and family are kind enough to track us down at the end of the first day's hike in Glenwood, Iowa and share their family's journal by Henry Standage.  He served in the Mormon Battalion, Company E and some of his journal entries pull at your heartstrings.   You can hearTiffany's story and a few journal entries during this episode. Tiffany has promised to share a few more with us so we can sprinkle them into our podcast throughout the trail experiences we highlight. 
 I thought it was interesting that Henry saw his first buffalo about the same dates, Kevin and I were entering the Buffalo reserve in Kansas and I wrote about it in MY journal.

There will be a video of this episode on Battalion Trek's You Tube channel.
