During the last few weeks I have been doing a little family history research. One of the interesting points was going to the Church History Library and reading my Great Great Great Grandfather's diary. George Deliverance Wilson was a member of the Mormon Battalion and a very spiritual person. There are many entries that describe the harsh conditions and great sacrifice he experienced. What impressed me most was that at the end of each of these entries he always ended with some variation on ' ...but God was my friend and I made it through.' Too bad they don't make 'em like they used to. For the most part.
