First published in 1997 as the first volume of the Kingdom of the West series, Bollock's journal of the trek west to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake was the official record of the Brigham Young pioneer company. He was the Clerk of the Camp of Israel, and wrote thousands of pages of Mormon history during the middle of the 19th century, but most of was ultimately published under other names and he remains obscure.
