Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 44: October, 1909; A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Interest of the Child, the Progress of the Sunday School and the Enlightenment of the Home Lehi forsook his lands and his wealth, and with his little family, set out to travel southward into the wilderness. It was a difficult journey to those who had been reared in luxury. It was doubly difficult for those who had not seen the visions of Lehi, and who had no faith in them. To them he was but a visionary man. To them there was utterly no need of this journey so full of sacrifice, into the nu peopled wilderness. It is small wonder, then, that Lehi's eldest sons murmured against him, and that even his wife complained of the hardships she was forced to endure because of his dreams.
