Here is a volume I shall return to time after time, and I know that others will do likewise. The author has consulted extensive historical resources and has discerningly deciphered them, arousing anew an interest in the story.

"Wil Aaron has told a remarkable historical non-fiction tale in Welsh Saints on the Mormon Trail... Aaron begins his intricate world-building from the very first page, captivating his readers with a sense of intrigue that's firmly rooted in the facts, making for a rich and detailed reading experience but also an emotionally invested one. The work's commitment to exploring this neglected avenue into Welsh history is substantial and impressive.

"It is a tale of heroism, dogged faith and human stubborness, engagingly well told in this big book about an often heartbreaking trek, or series of treks and its foundational role in creating the Mormonism of today.It's also a part of Welsh history and tells of our interconnectedness with the wider world, a settlement story much like Y Wladfa in Patagonia, which is so much better known. Wil Aaron's book will help change that.

For anyone interested in Welsh history the book is fascinating and informative. It draws on various sources and diaries (often in Welsh) and tells a story of suffering and endeavour over 15-20 years or so of difficult emigration on the trail. It is an incredible story... Welsh Saints on the Mormon Trail is a niche interest, but I found it fascinating and testimony to complex societal, religious and personal struggles.
