Honeymoon MarchA true story, William and Melissa are just married on the plains after lea­ving Illi­nois. They head west with the Mor­mon Bat­ta­lion on the lon­gest mili­tary march in U.S. his­tory, cove­ring over 3,000 miles, inc­lu­ding Ari­zona, Mexico, and finally on to San Diego, Cali­for­nia. They wal­ked, met indians, Cali­for­nios, wild ani­mals, and great hardships. They tra­ve­led the new Cali­for­nia fron­tier from San Diego to Sutter’s mill, where gold was dis­co­ve­red by their fellow sol­diers. A his­to­ri­cally accu­rate account for young and old with pic­tu­res for the chil­dren to color, and paper dolls, too!

Here is what Norma Bald­win Ric­ketts, author of Mor­mon Bat­ta­lion: U.S. Army of the West, 1846–1848 had to say about Honey­moon March:

“His­tory is so exci­ting to me that it seems unne­ces­sary to add to it. I was par­ti­cu­larly plea­sed that you use Melissa Coray’s exact words in telling this story. I am cer­tain chil­dren and teachers will appre­ciate your efforts. Con­gra­tu­la­tions on a fine publi­ca­tion!“
