The Nevada's Voyage

 “We arrived here today, and are thankful to the Giver of All Good that we have been blessed with a prosperous journey across the Atlantic. Excepting the usual amount of sea-sickness, we have, as a company, enjoyed good health. No accident or death has occurred among our people.
The Saints have had their times of enjoyment with vocal and instrumental music, and dancing, but have been also prompt and regular in attending their prayer meetings, morning and evening, and in attending their occasional preaching meetings.”

---C.H. Wilken on the Nevada’s voyage from Liverpool to New York with John and Emma Grant on board.
