About this episode
On the Great Alkali Plain
Our story shifts from damp and foggy London to a dry desert plain in the American West in 1847. A man and a young child are dehydrated and near death, when they encounter a caravan of Mormons, who offer to save them on the condition that they adopt the Mormon faith. The man, John Ferrier, accepts and joins them on their journey. How is it all connected? As you ponder, let your thoughts help you on your way to a night of restful and restorative sleep.
