Sherry Smith sent these corrections to the information in this book.
1. Samuel Milford boarded the ship Horizon with the family rather staying behind in England (as stated in Tempered Wind). True and faithful to the church.
2. Clara Read was a loving daughter. She did not stay in England (as stated in Tempered Wind). She emigrated to Sydney Australia. She married William Greenley in Sidney, bore two daughters. One daughter bore 11 children. William Greenley was not born in Warwickshire England. He worked there as a stone mason but was born in Ludlow Shropshire England.
3. The real marriage date of John Snell and Clara Read is 22 Jun 1881 (written in Clara's bible).
4. Samuel George did not marry the Martha that he boarded with in Iowa. Martha Munroe is a different person than the Iowa woman.

Scouting For The Mormons on the Great Frontier
By Sidney Alvarus Hanks and Ephraim K. Hanks
This is written in the Preface of this book:
"Ephraim Knowlton Hanks did not keep a diary, but in the sunset of his life took time out to tell the story to two different scribes who recorded the experiences, only to have both manuscripts mysteriously disappear. We have had to depend on the information handed down by his own children and the writings of men who rode and lived with him."
"Some of these experiences seem unbelievable even to the authors, but eye-witnesses of unquestionable character have written and testified to their truthfulness. When two or three men tell the same story, we are convinced to write these experiences as they have been written."
Sidney Alvarus Hanks is a son of Ephraim K. Hanks
This is a fun book to read and has a lot of interesting stories in it.
