    About this ebook

    Joseph Holbrook, Mormon pioneer, spent the winter of 1846-1847 with his family and a group of 400 other Mormon refugees stranded on the Nebraska prairie until they were invited to winter with the Ponca Indians. This is a little known aspect of the Mormon Exodus west and while it is only one of the events recorded in his journal, it is indicative of the value of the insights of Holbrooks first-hand account of his life.
    During the Ponca period, Joseph Holbrook and two other men also explored a northern route west along the Niobrara River. They made it nearly to Fort Laramie before they determined the route was unsuitable and returned. After reporting their findings to Brigham Young, Young chose a southern route along the Platte. The Indian Winter and exploration trip are only two of the interesting accounts recorded by Joseph Holbrook in his journal.
    The authors insights add to the account of her ancestor, Joseph Holbrook to make a fascinating glimpse of an interesting period in American history.

    Pamela Call Johnson

    Terry and Pamela Johnson are an active, involved, Mormon couple who have strong faith in the goodness of God. The implementation of this faith was challenged with the suicide of their son but was ultimately strengthened as they searched deeply into their hearts and religion for meaning. Pamela was taught from a young age the importance of raising children right 'for when they were old they would not depart from it' and, 'as a twig is bent, so it will grow.' She had a firm belief children became what they are taught. Terry was raised in a small, not so close, family who had little regard for organized Christian faith. His family was not enthusiastic when Terry became an enthusiastic convert of the LDS Church. Terry and Pam were energetic in seeing their children grew 'straight.' However, Terry and Pamela discovered that sometimes the unexpected changes the expected outcome. The lessons they learned through their struggle when their oldest son became a prodigal and then killed himself taught them great lessons and gave them greater compassion for all God's children in any circumstances, anywhere. This is their story.
