It takes courage to leave a familiat town, a comfortable homestead, and personal belongings and ole friends. It takes courage to live in a small wagon, traveling barely a hundred miles a week through Indian territory. But it takes a special, out-of-the-ordinary courage to give up the dearest treasure of the heart.
